Prokaryote

A bacterial organism. Prokaryotes are all unicellular, but they further differ from unicellular eukaryotes in a number of ways.

Prokaryotes lack membrane-enclosed organelles, most importantly a nucleus to contain their DNA, which is typically formed of a single circular chromosome. Because of this lack of a nucleus, the cellular division process of prokaryotes, called binary fission, is much simpler than mitosis.
