Best Answer

The Dna in prokaryotic Cells floats in the Cytoplasm as a single circular Chromosome.

Yes, all Prokaryotes (bacteria and archea and others) and Eukaryotes (e.g Insect, Animal, and Plant Cells) contain Dna in the Form of Chromosomes; without Dna there will be no reproduction.

Do protists contain DNA or RNA?

A prokaryotic cell absolutely contains genetic material! This is because all cells that reproduce contain genetic information. A prokayrote's genetic information is stored in it's DNA.
