Transcript text: Identify the two domains listed below which contain cells that lack a membrane-bound nucleus?
Archaea
Eukarya
Bacteria
Solution
The two domains that contain cells lacking a membrane-bound nucleus are:
Archaea
Bacteria
Explanation:
Archaea: This domain consists of prokaryotic cells, which do not have a membrane-bound nucleus. Instead, their genetic material is located in a nucleoid region.
Bacteria: Like Archaea, Bacteria are also prokaryotic and lack a membrane-bound nucleus. Their DNA is similarly found in a nucleoid region.
Eukarya: This domain includes eukaryotic organisms, which have cells with a membrane-bound nucleus. Therefore, Eukarya is not one of the domains that lack a membrane-bound nucleus.
In summary, the domains Archaea and Bacteria both consist of prokaryotic cells that do not have a membrane-bound nucleus.
