Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Bacteria are prokaryotes which means they
A
have a nucleus on their capsule
B
do not contain a nucleus
C
can live in environments with and without oxygen
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: -Unlike the eukaryotic (true) cells, bacteria do not have a membrane enclosed nucleus. The chromosome, a single, continuous strand of DNA, is localized, but not contained, in a region of the cell called the nucleoid. All the other cellular components are scattered throughout the cytoplasm.

Detailed explanation-3: -Does Bacteria Have a Nucleus? Bacteria cells are prokaryotic cells; therefore, they lack a nucleus. In eukaryotic cells, the nucleus is where the DNA is housed. However, in bacteria cells, the DNA or genetic information is found floating freely in the cytoplasm of the cell.

Detailed explanation-4: -Bacteria, of course, have no nucleus and therefore also nuclear membrane. genetic information-DNA is organized into numerous chromosomes and is packaged in the nucleus. The nucleus is bounded by a membrane mRNA, tRNA and rRNA are made in the nucleus and shipped out into the cytoplasm.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
