Being prokaryotic, ameobas do not have membrane bound organelles, like nuclei. If their genetic material was removed, the amoeba would be unable to function and would shortly die. That said, I need to reiterate that amoeba do not have nuclei.

it will die if the whole nucleus is removed, however if only a part of the nucleus is removed it can regenerate the lost part and will continue to live.
