Answer: The given statement can be completed as-

The main difference between a prokaryotic cell and a eukaryotic cell is the presence of a true nucleus in eukaryotes.

Eukaryotes are those organisms, which possess a membrane bound nucleus (true nucleus in the cell) that contains the genetic material (DNA) of the living organisms. The eukaryotic cells also contain membrane bound subcellular organelles like endoplasmic reticulum, golgi complex, mitochondria.

Example - Plants and animals.

Prokaryotes are those organisms that do not possess a membrane bound true nucleus and subcellular organelles. The genetic material lies in the cytoplasm of the cell.

Example - Bacteria like E. coli.
