What type of cell does not have a nucleus?
A
eukaryotic
B
prokaryotic
C
plant cell
D
animal cell
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Prokaryotes are organisms whose cells lack a nucleus and other organelles. Prokaryotes are divided into two distinct groups: the bacteria and the archaea, which scientists believe have unique evolutionary lineages. Most prokaryotes are small, single-celled organisms that have a relatively simple structure.

Detailed explanation-2: -Prokaryotes are single-celled organisms belonging to the domains Bacteria and Archaea. Prokaryotic cells are much smaller than eukaryotic cells, have no nucleus, and lack organelles. All prokaryotic cells are encased by a cell wall.

Detailed explanation-3: -The prokaryotic cell’s genetic material is located in an area with an irregular form called a nucleoid, which is a nucleus-like structure. Prokaryotic cells lack a true nucleus. The nucleus is devoid of the nuclear membrane.

Detailed explanation-4: -Specifically, mature red blood cells and cornified cells in the skin, hair, and nails contain no nucleus.

Detailed explanation-5: -Prokaryotic cells lack a nucleus and membrane-bound structures. Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus and membrane-bound structures called organelles.
