Answer:

DNA in the cytoplasm

Step-by-step explanation:

Prokaryotic cells are defined by the lack of membrane-bound organelles and a defined nucleus. Instead, the cell's processes take place in the cytoplasm. The cell's DNA is also found in the cytoplasm.

Eukaryotic cells are the opposite - they are defined by the presence of a defined nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, such as mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, and lysosomes. The genomic DNA is found inside the nucleus, not the cytoplasm.
