Answer 4

[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

The fundamental difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells is the presence or absence of a nucleus. Prokaryotic cells, such as bacteria, do not have a true nucleus. Instead, their genetic material is scattered throughout the cell in a region called the nucleoid. Eukaryotic cells, which make up plants, animals, fungi, and protists, have a true nucleus that contains their DNA. This compartmentalization of DNA allows eukaryotic cells to carry out more complex processes and maintain a higher level of organization compared to prokaryotic cells.
