B. Eukaryotic DNA is found in the mitochondria; prokaryotic DNA is found in Golgi bodies.

Answer:

C

Explanation:

A prokaryotic cell does not have a nucleus, unlike in a eukaryotic cell. Instead it has something analogous called a nucleoid – a region where most of its genetic material can be found in the cell but is not membrane-bound. Organelles in a prokaryote cell are also NOT membrane-bound, unlike in a eukaryotic cell.

Usually prokaryotes have circular DNA while eukaryotes have linear DNA. In addition the eukaryotic DNA is complex with various noncoding regions called introns in addition to the coding regions (exons). Prokaryotic DNA, on the other hand, is simple with mainly coding regions.
