Solution:
Feature
Prokaryotic cells
Eukaryotic cells
1
Size
Small sized
Moderate to large sized
2
Cell wall
Usually present
Present/absent
3
Multiplication
Rapid
Generally not rapid
4
Nucles
Genetic material is not membrane bound and is termed as nucleoid or incipient nucleus or genophore
Well defined membrane bound nucleus is present in which genetic material is present in the form of chromosomes
