Explanation: There are several differences between the two, but the biggest distinction between them is that eukaryotic cells have a distinct nucleus containing the cell's genetic material, while prokaryotic cells don't have a nucleus and have free-floating genetic material instead.

All living things can be divided into three basic domains: Bacteria, Archaea and Eukarya. The primarily single-celled organisms found in the Bacteria and Archaea domains are known as prokaryotes. These organisms are made of prokaryotic cells — the smallest, simplest and most ancient cells.

Organisms in the Eukarya domain are made of the more complex eukaryotic cells. These organisms, called eukaryotes, can be unicellular or multicellular and include animals, plants, fungi and protists. Many people are unclear on whether yeasts or fungi are prokaryotes or eukaryotes. Both are eukaryotes and share similar cell structure to all other eukaryotes.

Eukaryotes developed at least 2.7 billion years ago, following 1 to 1.5 billion years of prokaryotic evolution, according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Scientists hypothesize that the nucleus and other eukaryotic features may have first formed after a prokaryotic organism swallowed up another, according to the University of Texas. According to this theory, the engulfed organism would have then contributed to the functioning of its host.

Answer:

Difference between prokaryotes and eukaryotes are :-

(1)Eukaryotes are organisms whose cells have a nucleus and other organelles enclosed by a plasma membrane whereas prokaryotes are unicellular organisms that lack membrane-bound structures, the most noteworthy of which is the nucleus .

(2) Eukaryotic cells have a membrane-bound nucleus whereas prokaryotes cells do not have membrane-bound nucleus .

(3) The nucleus is only one of many membrane-bound organelles in eukaryotes whereas in procaryotes have no membrane-bound organelles .
