Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The nucleoid, where the prokaryotic genome is located, is considered the most primitive feature of prokaryotes. Prokaryotes lack membrane-bound organelles and do not have a true nucleus, which are features that eukaryotes possess. The cell wall, flagella, and cytoskeleton are also present in prokaryotic cells, but they are not unique to prokaryotes and are found in some form in eukaryotic cells as well. Internal membranes are absent in prokaryotes.
