what are prokaryotes characteristics
Introduction to characteristics of prokaryotes. Prokaryotes are the single-celled organisms and much smaller than eukaryotic cells. The size of most prokaryotes is between 1 Âµm and 10 Âµm, but can vary in size from 0.2 Âµm to 750 Âµm.enetic material of prokaryotes is not present in nucleus and consists of a large DNA molecule compacted in an area of cytoplasm called the nucleiod region. Cell wall of the prokaryotes is composed of peptidoglycan, a single large polymer of amino acids and sugar.
