Eukaryotic cells are larger than prokaryotic cells and have a “true” nucleus, membrane-bound organelles, and rod-shaped chromosomes. The nucleus houses the cell's DNA and directs the synthesis of proteins and ribosomes
Eukaryotes are those living organisms that contain true nucleus (containing the genetic material, DNA) as well as membrane bound subcellular compartments (called cell organelles such as mitochondria, golgi complex, endoplasmic reticulum) in their cell.
