4. These genetic materials present in the cell helps in the different function of the cell.
5. They help in replication as well as carry genetic material.

Growth in prokaryotes:

1. The cell growth or increase in size in prokaryotes is tightly linked to their reproduction by cell division.
2. Prokaryotes grow to a fixed size and then they reproduce through the process of binary fission.
