Detailed explanation-1: -Prokaryotic cells are comparatively smaller and much simpler than eukaryotic cells. The other defining characteristic of prokaryotic cells is that it does not possess membrane-bound cell organelles such as a nucleus. Reproduction happens through the process of binary fission.

Detailed explanation-2: -There are several differences between the two, but the biggest distinction between them is that eukaryotic cells have a distinct nucleus containing the cell’s genetic material, while prokaryotic cells don’t have a nucleus and have free-floating genetic material instead.

Detailed explanation-3: -Answer 1: The main difference between prokaryotes and eukaryotes is with regards to a membrane-bound nucleus. Most noteworthy, eukaryotes have a membrane-bound nucleus while the prokaryotes are without it.

Detailed explanation-4: -Prokaryotic cells (bacteria) lack a nuclear envelope; eukaryotic cells have a nucleus in which the genetic material is separated from the cytoplasm.

Detailed explanation-5: -Nuclear Material Basics Eukaryotes have nuclei separated from the cytoplasm by a double membrane and containing both chromosomes and a nucleolus, whereas prokaryotes have no true nucleus, with their nuclear material distributed diffusely throughout the interior of the cell.
