Eukaryotic vs. Prokaryotic: Nucleus

Eukaryotic cells have a true nucleus that contains their DNA, while prokaryotic cells lack a nucleus and have their DNA located in a region called the nucleoid.

Eukaryotes and Prokaryotes: Common Feature

Both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells contain genetic material, which is the blueprint for all cellular functions. However, they store and organize their DNA differently.

Eukaryotic Cells: Nuclear Envelope

Eukaryotic cells possess a nuclear envelope, a double membrane that surrounds the nucleus and regulates the movement of molecules in and out.

Nucleolus: Function

The nucleolus is a dense region within the nucleus where ribosomes, the protein-making factories of the cell, are assembled.
