Differentiate between Nucleus and Nucleoid on the basis of their structure and number of chromosomes present.
Answers
Answer:
Nucleus Nucleoid
A nucleus is a membrane-bound structure in which eukaryotes store their genetic materials. Nucleoid is a particular area in which prokaryotes store their genetic materials.
A nucleus is well organised and is large. Nucleoid is poorly organised and is small.
A nucleus is surrounded by a double layer membrane called nuclear membrane which separates the nucleus from other cell organelles. Nucleoid lacks a protective membrane.
A nucleus contains many chromosomes. Nucleoid usually contains only one chromosome.
A nucleus is a spherically shaped organelle. Nucleoid is an irregularly shaped organelle.
Nucleoplasm and Nucleolus are present in the nucleus. Nucleoplasm and Nucleolus are absent in a nucleoid.
It is composed of DNA, RNA, enzymes, dissolved ions, histones and other subnuclear bodies. It is composed of DNA, RNA, histones and other proteins
Answer:
The nucleus consists of protein fibres or the DNA inside chromatin fibres. Nucleoids contain the genetic material of prokaryotes in the cytoplasm. The nucleoids usually consist of a single chromosome.
