The function of Prokaryotic cell are as follows:-

1. Due to the presence of Singular Circular Chromosome, the


DNA of the cell can very easily replicate in a very simple form
without less use of energy and can easily pass to the daughter
cells.
2. It carries a circular DNA molecule strand with no free ends to
the DNA. This is so, it doesn’t create any significant challenges
to cells with respect to DNA replication and stability.
3. Due to the easy genetic replication, rapid reproduction also
occurs which provides an additional opportunity for various
mutations that are responsible for genetic variability. Thus, it
helps them to evolve rapidly to adjust with the environment.
4. Due to the lack of a nucleoid membrane, the circular
chromosome’s haploid DNA can very directly communicate
with the cytoplasm. This eventually lessens the time and
energy used and thus allows a direct connection with the
cytoplasm for proper transcription and translation.
Prokaryotic cells comprise bacteria and archaea. They typically have
a diameter of 0.1–5 mm, and their DNA is not contained within a
nucleus. Prokaryotic cells are found in single-celled organisms, such
as bacteria. Organisms with prokaryotic cells are called prokaryotes.
Basic Structures of Prokaryotic Cells. Prokaryotes, found in both
Domain Archaea and Bacteria, are unicellular organisms that lack
membrane-bound organelles and a defined nucleus. Examples of
prokaryotic cells are1.Escherichia Coli Bacterium (E. coli)
2.Streptococcus Bacterium. 3.Streptomyces Soil Bacteria. 4.Archaea.
