A
Bacterial cells
B
Prokaryotic cells
C
Eukaryotic cells
D
Archaeal cells
Verified step by step guidance1
Begin by understanding the basic classification of cells: prokaryotic and eukaryotic.
Recognize that prokaryotic cells, which include bacterial and archaeal cells, do not have a nucleus. Their DNA is located in a region called the nucleoid, which is not enclosed by a membrane.
Identify eukaryotic cells as those that have a true nucleus, meaning their DNA is enclosed within a nuclear membrane.
Recall that eukaryotic cells include plant cells, animal cells, fungi, and protists, all of which have their DNA enclosed within a nucleus.
Conclude that among the options given, eukaryotic cells are the type of cells that enclose their DNA within a nucleus.
