Yes, prokaryotic DNA is cytoplasmic.
In prokaryotes, unlike eukaryotes, the DNA is not enclosed within a membrane-bound nucleus. According to the provided reference, prokaryotic DNA is located in the cytoplasm. It is concentrated in a region called the nucleoid, which is typically a central area within the cell. This nucleoid region is not surrounded by a membrane, meaning the DNA is directly exposed to the cytoplasm and its contents. Therefore, prokaryotic DNA resides within the cytoplasm.
