Solution

1)All prokaryotic cells contain large quantities of genetic material in the form of DNA and RNA. Becauseprokaryotic cells, by definition, do not have a nucleus, a single large circular strand of DNA containing most of thegenes needed for cell growth, survival, and reproduction is found in the cytoplasm.

2)Yes,
All organisms may be classified as prokaryotes or eukaryotes. The cells of all prokaryotes and eukaryotes possess two basic features: a plasma membrane, also called a cell membrane, and cytoplasm. However, the cells of prokaryotes are simpler than those of eukaryotes. For example, prokaryotic cells lack a nucleus, while eukaryotic cells have a nucleus. Prokaryotic cells lack internal cellular bodies (organelles), while eukaryotic cells possess them. Examples of prokaryotes are bacteria and archaea. Examples of eukaryotes are protists, fungi, plants, and animals (everything except prokaryotes).
As cytoplasm is present in prokariotic cells it possses diiferent cytoplasmic organelles
