Cells that lack a true nucleus and do not have nuclear membrane are called

  • A.Eukaryotic
  • B.Mononucleate
  • C.Prokaryotic
  • D.Multinucleate

Answer: C

Such cells are called prokaryotic.

Prokaryotic cells, found in bacteria and cyanobacteria (blue-green algae), have no true nucleus: their genetic material lies in a region of the cytoplasm called the nucleoid, with no nuclear membrane around it. They also lack membrane-bound organelles such as mitochondria.

Eukaryotic cells, in plants, animals, fungi and protists, have a true nucleus enclosed by a nuclear membrane. Mononucleate and multinucleate describe how many nuclei a cell has, so both assume a nucleus is present.
