Best Answer

Previous Answer: cells that are located on your wrist. The wrist cell is a prokaryote because it does not contain a nuclei

Improved Answer: WOW! Whoever wrote that last question has no idea what they were talking about! Wrist skin cells are epidermal cells. Assuming you've rubbed the dead cells off before looking at them in a microscope, you WILL see a nucleus. All human cells are EUKARYOTIC. Our cells have a nucleus, mitochondria, and other membrane-bound organelles (the very definition of a eukaryote).

As epidermal cells rise to the surface from the dermis, they dry out, die and shrivel up. This creates a semi-waterproof layer of keratin at the surface. THAT layer doesn't cells with nuclei, but then again, the cells are dead anyway! To be precise, skin cells are part of a tissue known as stratified squamous keratinizing epithelium.
