Where is the genetic material located in a bacterial cell?

Answer 1

The main genetic material floats freely in the cytoplasm in a region called the nucleoid.

The primary genetic material is found in an area known as the nucleoid, where circular chromosomes that are compact in nature make up DNA.

Apart from the primary genetic material, a cell may contain extra genetic material contained in structures known as plasmids.

Unlike in a eukaryotic cell, both are free to move around in the cytoplasm of the cell and are not constrained by any kind of nuclear membrane.
