In prokaryotic cells, what is the nucleoid?
A
A region in the cell where the DNA is located, not enclosed by a membrane
B
A membrane-bound organelle containing the cell's DNA
C
A compartment for storing nutrients
D
A structure responsible for protein synthesis
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that prokaryotic cells are simpler than eukaryotic cells and lack membrane-bound organelles.
Recognize that the nucleoid is a distinct region within prokaryotic cells where the cell's genetic material, DNA, is located.
Note that unlike eukaryotic cells, prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus; instead, their DNA is found in the nucleoid region.
Clarify that the nucleoid is not enclosed by a membrane, differentiating it from the nucleus found in eukaryotic cells.
Identify that the nucleoid is not involved in storing nutrients or protein synthesis, which are functions associated with other cellular structures.
