Organisms whose cells have no nucleus.
A
prokaryotes
B
eukaryotes
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
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: -Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus, a membrane-bound chamber where DNA is stored, while prokaryotic cells don’t. This is the feature that formally separates the two groups. Eukaryotes usually have other membrane-bound organelles in addition to the nucleus, while prokaryotes don’t.

Detailed explanation-3: -The cell membrane is bound to DNA and is in close contact with the cytoplasm. There is no enclosing membrane, because there is no actual nucleus, but merely a concentration of DNA called a nucleoid. Therefore, prokaryotes can live without a nucleus.

Detailed explanation-4: -Only the single-celled organisms of the domains Bacteria and Archaea are classified as prokaryotes-pro means before and kary means nucleus.
