Prokaryotic chromosomes are found in the nucleoid, while those of eukaryotes are found inside the nucleus.
- Eukaryotic cells contain a membrane-bound nucleus (as well as membrane-bound organelles), whereas prokaryotic cells have not. This is the primary distinction between the two types of cells.
- Bacteria have a single circular chromosome made of double stranded DNA, whereas humans have 46 chromosomes made of linear DNA.
- Similar to the genetic material present in all living things, this circular DNA serves to sustain bacterial growth, cellular respiration, and reproduction.
- Bacteria are typically thought of as genetically haploid, have a quick generation rate, and are quickly able to reach high population densities. As a result, standard genetic analysis of bacteria is much simpler than that of diploid eukaryotes.
