Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the basic difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells: prokaryotic cells lack a nucleus, while eukaryotic cells have a defined nucleus.
Recall that plant cells and animal cells are types of eukaryotic cells, so they both contain a nucleus.
Recognize that the defining feature of prokaryotic cells is the absence of a membrane-bound nucleus; their genetic material is instead located in a nucleoid region.
Therefore, identify that the cell type without a nucleus is the prokaryotic cell.
Summarize that among the options given, only the prokaryotic cell lacks a nucleus, distinguishing it from eukaryotic cells such as plant and animal cells.
