  • What are eukaryotic cells?
    ● Cells with genetic material (DNA) enclosed in a nucleus
    ● Plant and animal cells
  • What are prokaryotic cells?
    ● Cells with genetic material (DNA) not enclosed in a nucleus
    ● Bacterial cells
    ● Much smaller in comparison
  • Describe the genetic material in a prokaryotic cells
    ● A single loop of DNA
    ● May also have small rings of DNA called plasmids
  • Why is this statement wrong?
    “A prokaryotic cell doesn’t have DNA.”
    Despite not having a nucleus, it still has DNA (found in cytoplasm).
