type of cells lack a distinct nucleus?

  1. rokaryotes

  2. ungi

  3. ukaryotes

  4. lgae

The correct answer is: rokaryotes

Rokaryotes, also known as prokaryotic cells, lack a distinct nucleus. This means that they do not have a membrane-bound organelle that contains the cell's genetic material. This distinguishes them from eukaryotic cells, which have a defined nucleus. Ungi, ukaryotes, and lgae are not the correct answers as they all refer to organisms (fungi, eukaryotic cells, and algae) which have a defined nucleus. Therefore, they are not cells that lack a distinct nucleus.
