Detailed Solution

Eukaryotic cells have a well-defined nucleus that contains the DNA. DNA in eukaryotes is linear, compacted into chromosomes by histones.

Prokaryotes do not contain a well-defined nucleus. Circular DNA is present in the cytoplasm in addition to smaller, transferable DNA plasmids.

Hence, eukaryotic cells have DNA in the form of chromosomes, while prokaryotic cells have DNA in the form of plasmids.
