Lesson Summary. The nucleoid region is the 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.
Prokaryotic DNA is coiled up in a region of the cytoplasm called the nucleoid. Like eukaryotic cells, prokaryotic cells contain a plasma membrane, cell wall, and cytoplasm. Unlike eukaryotic cells, prokaryotic cells do not contain membrane-bound organelles.
