Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -In eukaryotes, the cell’s genetic material, or DNA, is contained within an organelle called the nucleus, where it is organized in long molecules called chromosomes.
Detailed explanation-2: -One notable absence is a plasma membrane-bound nucleus found in eukaryotic cells. Their DNA is located in a central area called the nucleoid region. This area is not surrounded by a membrane, and it is where most of the cell’s genetic material is located.
Detailed explanation-3: -Eukaryotic cells contain membrane-bound organelles (such as the nucleus and mitochondria), while prokaryotic cells do not. DNA in eukaryotic cells is found inside the nucleus, while DNA in prokaryotic cells is located in the cytoplasm.
