Question

  1. where would you expect to find the genetic material in a prokaryotic cell?

in the nucleus
a prokaryotic cell does not have genetic material.
in the organelles
in the cytoplasm

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Prokaryotic cells lack a nucleus. Their genetic material (DNA) is not enclosed within a membrane - bound nucleus. Instead, it is located in the cytoplasm in an area called the nucleoid. Organelles in prokaryotes are not membrane - bound and do not house the genetic material. All cells, including prokaryotic cells, have genetic material as it is essential for their function and reproduction.

Answer:

in the cytoplasm
