What is a prokaryote?

Unicellular organism with a nucleus
Multicellular organism without a nucleus
Unicellular organism without a nucleus
Multicellular organism with a nucleus

The correct answer is: Unicellular organism without a nucleus

A prokaryote is a type of single-celled organism that lacks a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles. This is in contrast to eukaryotes, which have a nucleus and other complex structures within their cells. Option A is incorrect because while prokaryotes are unicellular organisms, they do not have a nucleus, which is a defining characteristic of eukaryotes. Option B is also incorrect because prokaryotes are not multicellular organisms. They are single-celled organisms. Option D is incorrect because prokaryotes do not have a nucleus, which is present in eukaryotes.
