Look at Label A on the bacteria. It is pointing to the DNA.

Cells can be classified into either prokaryotic or eukaryotic cells.

The bacteria is an example of a prokaryotic cell. Prokaryotes are single-celled organisms that are more primitive than eukaryotic cells. The DNA in prokaryotes is not stored in a nucleus. There is no nucleus.

Describe how the DNA is stored in this prokaryotic cell. Is it organized? Can it be found in one small area?

Look at Label B on the plant and animal cell. It is pointing to the DNA.

Plant and animal cells are examples of eukaryotic cells. Eukaryotes are either single or multi-cellular and are much more complex cells. They have organelles which each perform a job in the cell. Eukaryotes have a nucleus which contains the genetic code, or DNA, for the cell.
