prokaryotic DNA tends to be distributed through out the cytoplasm, think of it has bacterial DNA. It also tends to be circular, a form of a loop.
eurkaryotic DNA tends to be bound up in chromosomes. There are also lots of repeated strings of non-coding DNA, yet may be important for chromosome structure.

Basically, the two types of cells DNA suggest different biolgy.
Procaryotes are capable of photoreactivation in ultraviolet light. Like Plants rather than animals.
Eucaryotes are not capable of photoreactivation, but do have Introns, which are unique to Eukaryotes. They also have a nucleus that contains the cell's DNA. Complex membranes and structures such as the Endoplasmic reticulum are unique to Eukaryotes and do not exist in prokaryotes. This makes Eukaryotes more like Animals than plants.
