What is the genetic material in eukaryotes wrapped by?

Answer 1

It is enclosed in a nuclear membrane.

Eukaryotes get their name because they have a "true" nucleus. The genetic material(DNA) in Eukaryotes are stored in the Nucleus and it is wrapped by a membrane. What is the function of the nuclear membrane, you may ask. It serves to separate the inside of the nucleus from the outside.

When a compound leaves the nucleus, an example is ribosomes (they are synthesized in the nucleolus), they pass through a "hole" in the nuclear membrane called nucleopore.

Prokaryotes, literally meaning "before kernel" or "before nucleus", usually unicellular(1 cell organisms), does not have a "true nucleus". In place of a nucleus, however it has a structure called a nucleoid. The nucleoid contains the genetic material of the cell but is not enclosed in a nuclear envelope (vs eukaryotes) and is hence floating in the cytoplasm.

Answer 2

In eukaryotes, the genetic material is coiled and folded into nucleosomes, which are formed by the wrapping of histone proteins around the genetic material.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
