Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Prokaryotic genomes typically do not contain introns, which are non-coding sequences within a gene that are transcribed but then removed during RNA processing. Prokaryotic genes are usually organized into operons, which are units of genes that are transcribed together as a single mRNA molecule. Prokaryotic genomes have a distinct replication site and may have histone-like proteins associated with the chromatin. The DNA of prokaryotic cells is found in the nucleoid, a region of the cell that is not enclosed by a membrane.
