Best Answer

There is no true answer, only theories. It goes that the cell membrane in the early eukaryotes invaginated towards the nucleus more and more over time and finally just created a nuclear envelope in the cell. This allows the eukaryotic cell to control what molecules and proteins can enter and exit the nucleus via nuclear pores. The eukaryotes and prokaryotes split off in the evolution chain because a nucleus has advantages and having no nucleus has advantages too.

Why are eukaryote and prokaryote cells differ?

Eukaryotes have a nucleus. Prokaryotes do not have a nucleus.


Is bacteria eukaryotes or prokaryote?

Prokaryote because it lacks a cell nucleus


What is the difference of a prokaryote and a eukaryote?

Carryouts has a nucleus and prokaryote does not. The DNA in the prokaryotes just float in the prokaryote.


What is prokaryotes and eukaryotes?

an euakryote is a type of cell that has a nucleus and a prokaryote is a cell that does not have a nucleus.


What is the difference betrween archaea and eukaryotes?

Archaea are prokaryote, which means that they do not contain a true nucleus, unlike eukaryotes that does.


What organelles do eukayote cells have that prokaryote cells dont?

Does prokaryote cells have a distinct nucleus?

No prokaryote cells do not have a distinct nucleus. The prokaryotes are a group of organisms whose cells lack a membrane-bound nucleus. Organisms whose cells do have a nucleus are called eukaryotes.


Are eukaryotes made out of cells?

One prokaryote ate another smaller prokaryote, causing the smaller prokaryote to become the nucleus and the larger one is the cell itself.


What is the difference between prokaryote and eukaryote cells?

The biggest difference between a prokaryote and a eukaryote is the presence of a true-nucleus. Prokaryote does not contain a membrane-bound nucleus and has its DNA suspended in nucleoid region. Eukaryotes do have its nucleus surrounded by a nuclear membrane.


Eukaryote s lack a nucleus and other membrane organelles?

No, eukaryotes do have a true nucleus and organelles. What you're describing is a prokaryote.
