Based on John Doe's observations that the cell has a cell wall but does not have a nucleus, he can infer that **it must be prokaryotic**.

Prokaryotic cells, such as bacteria, lack a true nucleus and typically have a cell wall. While plant cells and fungal cells also have cell walls, they do contain nuclei, distinguishing them from prokaryotic cells. Therefore, the most accurate inference is that it is a prokaryotic cell.
