Question

Which structure is found in the cytoplasm of a prokaryotic cell, but is not found in the cytoplasm of a eukaryotic cell? DNA ribosomes nucleus mitochondria

Answer 1

The answer is nucleus.
The eukaryotic cell has not a well defined nucleus . we can also say that in this cell nucleus is absent.

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is DNA.

In prokaryotes, naked DNA is present in the cytoplasm. They lack all membrane bound cell organelles like mitochondria, nucleus, Golgi apparatus etc. Hence, the DNA keeps floating around in the cytoplasm of the cell in the region called as nucleoid - nucleus like.

In contrast, eukaryotic cells contain well developed membrane bound nucleus and other cell organelles like mitochondria, Golgi apparatus, lysosomes etc. In eukaryotes, DNA is found in nucleoplasm of the nucleus and not in the cytoplasm of the cell.
