Bozley · Answer 1

Eukaryotic cells contain membrane-bound organelles, such as the nucleus, while prokaryotic cells do not. Differences in cellular structure of prokaryotes and eukaryotes include the presence of mitochondria and chloroplasts, the cell wall, and the structure of chromosomal DNA.

Jaydan Chaney · Answer 2

Answer: The correct answer is option (A) i. e. Prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus in their cell but eukaryotic cells have nucleus in the cell.

Explanation:

The main difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell is that prokaryotic cells have no nucleus in their cell while eukaryotic cells have nucleus present in the center of their cell. In prokaryotic cells, DNA or genetic material is present in the place of nucleus in the center of the cell.
