Prokaryotes (like bacteria) lack a membrane-bound nucleus. Their genetic material (usually a single circular chromosome) is located in a region of the cytoplasm called the nucleoid. Eukaryotes (like plants and animals) have a membrane-bound nucleus containing their genetic material, which is organized into multiple linear chromosomes composed of DNA wrapped around proteins (histones) forming a structure called chromatin.
