    That's what I was thinking. Bacteria have no true nucleus. IIRC they might have what is referred to as a nucleoid region. Plus in a eukaryotic cell or organism, there's genetic activity in the mitochondria* and chloroplasts*, which are, interestingly enough, connected with prokaryotes ala the endosymbiont hypothesis.

    *-This genetic activity would, thus, be outside the nucleus.
