In prokaryotic cells, instructions for living and growing are primarily encoded in their DNA, which is typically organized in a single circular chromosome. This genetic material contains genes that encode proteins essential for various cellular functions, metabolism, and reproduction. Additionally, plasmids, which are small circular DNA molecules, can carry extra genes that may confer advantages such as antibiotic resistance. The expression of these genes is regulated through various mechanisms, allowing the cell to adapt to changing environments.
No, prokaryotic cells do not have a protein capsid. Protein capsids are a characteristic feature of viruses, which are non-living entities that infect cells. Prokaryotic cells, such as bacteria, are living organisms that do not possess a protein capsid.
Living organism without organized nucleus.
Absolutely, and they may also be considered as prototypes for eukaryotic cells.
No, prokaryotic cells are not the oldest living things. The oldest living things on Earth are believed to be bacteria-like organisms that existed billions of years ago, before more complex life forms evolved. These early organisms were likely similar to present-day prokaryotic cells in structure and function.
No-Archbaecteria and Eubacteria are prokaryotic. Not sure if others are pro.

Eukaryotic or prokaryotic
prokaryotic cells
Living organism without organized nucleus.
Bacteria are prokaryotes. Viruses are not living organisms and have no domain.
Absolutely, and they may also be considered as prototypes for eukaryotic cells.
yes it has a nucleus (prokaryotic)
Bacteria have prokaryotic cells. In the US, bacteria are in the kingdom Bacteria. In UK and Australia these are in the kingdom Monera.

There is no organism that is prokaryotic because prokaryotic is a cell not an organism.
The virus is neither eukaryotic nor prokaryotic. Viruses are considered acellular entities that do not fit into the traditional classification of living organisms.
No. All living things large enough to be seen are eukaryotic.
