Compare and contrast prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells in terms of genetic material

The main difference between a prokaryotic and a eukaryotic cell is the absence of nucleus in the prokaryotic cell and its presence in the eukaryotic cell. The genetic material of the prokaryotic cell is not inside the membrane. On the contrary, the eukaryotic cell has genetic material inside the nucleus. Also, eukaryotes have linear chromosomes while prokaryotes have circular chromosomes.
