Prokaryotic cells are single cell that do not posses any nucleus.[1] The cells are mostly simple compared to the eukaryotic alternatives. The DNA is just free within the cell complimented by plasmids that can add functions to the cell, this making it commonly used for gene amplification. And example of prokaryotes are Bacteria and Archaea.
