The correct response is:

Prokaryotes do not store their genes in a nucleus like eukaryotes do.

Explanation: In prokaryotes, the genetic material is located in the cytoplasm in a region called the nucleoid, and it is not enclosed within a membrane-bound nucleus. In contrast, eukaryotes have a well-defined nucleus that houses their genetic material. This fundamental difference in cellular organization affects various aspects of gene regulation and expression between the two groups.
