Answer:

Courtney is looking at a prokaryotic cell.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, when Courtney is observing the science experiment, and finds a cell that includes DNA and has a nucleoid region but does not have nucleus, it is a prokaryotic cell and only the single-celled organisms of the domains Bacteria and Archaea are classified as prokaryotes, where pro means before and kary means nucleus.

Answer:

Courtney is looking at Prokaryotic Cell.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's explain what is a prokaryotic cell: prokaryotes are unicellular organisms that lack organelles or other internal membrane-bound structures. Therefore, they do not have a nucleus, but, instead, generally have a single chromosome: a piece of circular, double-stranded DNA located in an area of the cell called the nucleoid. And most prokaryotes have a cell wall outside the plasma membrane.
