Which of the following statements are true about a nucleoid? (Choose all that apply)

A nucleoid is found in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.

A nucleoid is a complex of DNA bound to proteins.

A nucleoid is surrounded by a nuclear envelope.

A nucleoid is how the hereditary information is carried in prokaryotic cells.

A nucleoid is how the hereditary information is carried in prokaryotic cells.

Explanation:

A nucleoid is a prokaryote-specific organelle that contains the genetic information in prokaryotic cells. It is not present in eukaryotic organelles, where the nucleus holds the genetic information.

A nucleoid differs from a nucleus, because it is not surrounded by a nuclear envelope. It is also irregularly shaped.

The nucleoid is not a complex of DNA bound to proteins, the term used to describe a DNA/protein complex is called chromatin.

A nucleoid can be described as how the hereditary information (the DNA) is carried in prokaryotic cells.
