Answer: Deoxyribonucleic acid.

Step-by-step explanation:

The bacterial genome is usually composed of single molecule of chromosomal DNA.

This is located in the cytoplasmic region inside the bacterial cell. When the bacterial cell is viewed inside the microscope then this structure is known as nucleiod.

Bacterial DNA is not enclosed in the nucleus rather it is dissolved in the cytoplasm.
