Best Answer

bacteria do not contain a nucleus. they have their genetic material in contact with the cellular component. there is no nuclear membrane to enclose their nuclear material into a nucleus.they are devoid of compartmentalization i.e they do not have membrane bound oraganelles and as nucleus is a membrane bound organelle so it is absent. though their genetic material is still present but in contact with cytoplasm
