|(big/ prokaryote / eukaryote), which lack membrane bound prganelles and a nucleus and (small/ prokaryote / eukaryote), which contain membrane bound organelles. The nucleus of eukaryotic cells separated from the cytoplasm by a (cellular / nuclear / sticky) envelope. The hereditary material is in the nucleus. It exists as (DNA only / histones only/ chromatin) until the cell divides and then we see chromosomes.
