Solution

The answer for the first question is not no.
Prokaryotes (meaning 'before nucleus') are cells without a definite nucleus. The DNAfloats in the cytoplasm and they divide through mitosis.
As we can see that an animal cell without nucleus can also have chromosomes, the second question holds no importance.
