Solution

The correct option is D

Undefined nuclear region in prokaryotes


Nucleoid is the undefined nuclear region in prokaryotes. This is an irregularly-shaped section of a prokaryotic cell where DNA is housed. It lacks the membrane that is found around the nucleus of eukaryotic cells. In addition to DNA, the nucleoid may also contain RNA, proteins, and enzymes that can be used for cellular processes.
