There is actually no membrane bounded or enclosed organelle that contain the genetic content and or information within a prokaryote. In bacteria, for instance the bacterial genome, which is that of a enclosed single double stranded circular DNA molecule is associated with histone like proteins and found within the cytoplasmic region of a cell in an irregular manner. It is termed the nucleoid.
