Prokaryotic chromosomes are typically much larger than eukaryotic ones.

Prokaryotes tend to only have one chromosome while eukaryotes have many.

Prokaryotic chromosomes are wrapped into structures called nucleosomes.
.

Prokaryotic chromosomes are linear while eukaryotic chromosomes are circular.
