Question

What is nucleoid ? How it is different from the nucleus of eukaryotic cell.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Nucleoid is the undefined nuclear region containing only nucleic acids, in the prokaryotic cells. It is not bounded by a nuclear membrane and lies in direct contact with the cytoplasm

The nucleoid (meaning nucleus-like) is an irregularly-shaped region within the cell of a prokaryote that contains all or most of the genetic material. In contrast to the nucleus of a eukaryotic cell, it is not surrounded by a nuclear membrane

Answer 2

Explanation:

The nucleoid is a region in a prokaryotic cell that is made up of genetic material of the prokaryotes. Unlike the nucleus of a eukaryote it does not contain a nuclear membrane and it is not distinguished into a perfect organelle. The nucleoid mostly contains DNA about 60% and contain small amount of 'RNA and protein'.
