Answer:
1. Nucleoid
2. Plasmid
Explanation:
Prokaryotes are groups of organisms characterized by the lack of a membrane-bound nucleus in their cell. Due to this, the genetic material (DNA) of prokaryotes are found naked i.e. not housed. The DNA of a prokaryote is arranged in a single coiled chromosome located in a region of the cell called NUCLEOID.
However, some prokaryotes e.g. bacteria carry genes on extrachromosomal pieces of circular DNA called PLASMID. Plasmids carry certain genes like antibiotic resistance genes.
