Answer 1

The correct answer is Sperm.

Key Points

Sperm cells are eukaryotic cells. They have a nucleus inside a specialized region called an acrosome
Prokaryotic cells are primitive cell having three basic structures of typical cells but lacking nuclear membranes.
The prokaryotic cell consists of a single membrane and therefore, all the reactions occur within the cytoplasm
The nucleus is absent in Prokaryotic Cells but nuclear material is present in a region of cytoplasm called the nucleoid.
Membrane-bound organelles are absent in Prokaryotic cells like Mitochondria, lysosomes, and Golgi bodies.
Examples of some Prokaryotic are viruses, bacteria, blue-green algae, mycoplasma etc.
