Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the basic differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Prokaryotic cells are generally simpler and smaller than eukaryotic cells.
Recognize that prokaryotic cells do not have membrane-bound organelles, such as a nucleus, mitochondria, or endoplasmic reticulum, which are present in eukaryotic cells.
Identify that prokaryotic cells have a nucleoid region where their genetic material is located, as opposed to a defined nucleus in eukaryotic cells.
Note that prokaryotic cells typically have circular DNA, whereas eukaryotic cells have linear DNA.
Conclude that the presence of a nucleoid region is a feature of prokaryotic cells, distinguishing them from eukaryotic cells, which have a nucleus.
