Question

How is nucleus different from nucleoid?

• A. Nucleus is membrane bound but nucleoid is open.
• B. Nucleus has nucleoplasm separated by nucleomembrane but nucleoid do not have any plasma seperated by membrane.
• C. Nucleus has nucleolus but nucleoid do not have nucleolus.
• D. All of the above.

Answer 1

The correct option is D All of the above.

Nucleoid is a region in a prokaryotic cell, where it's most of the genetic material resides. It is not a well-defined membrane bound region. Nucleus is bound with double membrane in eukaryotic cell in which most of the genetic material is present. Nucleolus is the largest structure present in the nucleus. Ribosome synthesis and assemblage occurs in nucleolus region.
