Question

What is the status of nucleus in prokaryotes

Answer 1

there is no well defined nucleus present in prokaryotes . the DNA is scattered in the cytoplasm unlike that of eukaryotic cells.

Answer 2

The distinction is that eukaryotic cells have a "true" nucleus containing their DNA, whereas prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus. Both eukaryotes and prokaryotes contain large RNA/protein structures called ribosomes, which produce protein.
