Why don't bacteria have nuclei

[From: ] [author: ] [Date: 11-09-22] [Hit: ]
but bacteria have their own defense mechanisms as well. A big natural killer of bacteria is Bacteriophages (viruses that only infect bacteria). Viruses kill a cell by injecting their genetic material into a host cell, hijacking its nutrients and enzymes and converting it into a virus factory. Bacteria have Restriction Endonucleases to protect itself; reactive enzymes that are designed to recognize, bind to and destroy invading viruses DNA.......
I'm just curious about this since both prokaryotes and eukaryotes have DNA

It just never happened in bacteria's evolutionary history to create a nucleus to protect its DNA.

Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus to protect its DNA, but bacteria have their own defense mechanisms as well. A big natural killer of bacteria is Bacteriophages (viruses that only infect bacteria). Viruses kill a cell by injecting their genetic material into a host cell, hijacking its nutrients and enzymes and converting it into a "virus factory." Bacteria have "Restriction Endonucleases" to protect itself; reactive enzymes that are designed to recognize, bind to and destroy invading viruses DNA.

It is a prokaryotic cell
