they already have a nucleoid region.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Its not because they are a single celled organism, there are many eukaryotic single celled organisms and they all need nuclei. It is because bacterial nuclear material (their genetic code) is packaged differently to that of a eukaryote. They have a single circular chromosome, with much less code than more advanced lifeforms. This means that the control and security of a nucleus is not necessary

OpenStudy (anonymous):
