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: -The main difference between eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells is that eukaryotic cells have a nucleus. The nucleus is where cells store their DNA, which is the genetic material. The nucleus is surrounded by a membrane. Prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus.
Detailed explanation-3: -Prokaryotes (meaning ‘before nucleus’) are cells without a definite nucleus. The DNA floats in the cytoplasm and they divide through mitosis. RBC and platelets present in eukaryotes also do not have the nucleus. It’s RBC (Red Blood Corpuscles) and platelets.
Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -Prokaryotes are unicellular organisms that are devoid of a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles.
