All the characteristics of a prokaryotic cell

Explanation:

Prokaryotes lack an organized nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles.

Prokaryotic DNA is found in a central part of the cell called the nucleoid.

The cell wall of a prokaryote acts as an extra layer of protection, helps maintain cell shape, and prevents dehydration.

dna damages cause changes in the structure of the genetic material and prevents the replication mechanism from functioning and performing properly. dna damage and mutation have different biological consequences. while most dna damages can undergo dna repair, such repair is not 100% efficient.
