unenucleated
An unenucleated cell is a type of cell that lacks a nucleus, the membrane-bound organelle typically found in eukaryotic cells. Unlike eukaryotic cells, which contain a defined nucleus housing genetic material, unenucleated cells are characterized by their genetic material being dispersed throughout the cytoplasm. These cells are commonly referred to as prokaryotic cells, a term derived from the Greek words *pro* (before) and *karyon* (nut or kernel), reflecting their simpler structure compared to eukaryotic cells.
Prokaryotic cells, which include bacteria and archaea, are among the most ancient and widespread forms of life
In contrast to eukaryotic cells, which contain multiple membrane-bound organelles, unenucleated cells rely on simpler internal
While unenucleated cells lack a nucleus, they possess other specialized structures, such as ribosomes, which are
