Do Eukaryotic Cells Have a Nucleus?

Answer – Eukaryotic cells have a well-defined nucleus.

Explanation:

Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus that is surrounded by a double membrane (nuclear envelope) and houses the cell’s DNA. It directs the synthesis of proteins and ribosomes. Eukaryotic cells also contain other membrane-bound organelles, including the mitochondria, a Golgi apparatus, an endoplasmic reticulum, and lysosomes.
