      Bacteria are cells themselves, so they have a nucleus. They are different from the cells that form our body, though. The biggest difference is that our nucleus is well kept inside a membrane, whereas theirs is just floating around together with the rest of cell components.

      They do indeed! Its a bit different to ours, though. Ours is kept inside a membrane, theirs isn’t.
