Prokaryote |
A single celled organelle lacking membrane-bound organelles, (such as a nucleus), with its DNA free in the cytoplasm. |
Prokaryotes are not available in animals cells so how does this affect the definition of a prokaryote? DNA position? Membranes? |
|
|

An organism containing cells that have membrane-bound organelles, with DNA in chromosomes within the nucleus. |
Membranes and organelles? DNA position? |
