Both the statements are right and reason is the right explanation of the assertion statement.
Important Points:
•In prokaryotes, there is no well developed or well marked nucleus. In them, the genetic material consisting of DNA as well as RNA keeps floating on the cytoplasm. They are not enclosed by any type of membrane. So, it is said that the prokaryotes have naked genetic material.
• The genetic material in them is round in shape. They are not packaged by any type of proteins and hence are considered to be as naked.
• The DNA in them is usually enclosed in a area which is called nucleoid.
•These kind of organisms carry very little amount of genetic material.
