- B. Having well-defined cytoplasm
- C. Genetic material
- D. Lacking proper nucleus
Explanation
Bacteria are unicellular organisms that have well-defined cellular structures, including a well-defined cytoplasm. They have cell membranes, cytoplasm, ribosomes, and other cellular components that are essential for carrying out various life processes. In contrast, viruses are not cells and lack cellular structures like cytoplasm. Instead, viruses consist of genetic material (DNA or RNA) surrounded by a protein coat.
