They do not have a well-developed nucleus or advanced cell, neither they possess any cell organelles.

Detailed explanation-2: -The two prokaryotic kingdoms are Eubacteria and Archaea. A prokaryote is a relatively simple single-celled organism; more complex organisms (including all multi-celled organisms) are eukaryotes. Previously, there had been only one kingdom of prokaryotes, known as Monera.
