Question

Nucleoid is found in

1. virus
2. Protozoa
3. Viroids
4. Archaea
5. fungi

Answer 1

D. Archaea

The cells of all the organisms are either classified as prokaryotic or eukaryotic. Prokaryotic organisms lack a well-defined nucleus, instead, their chromosome is found in a part of the cytoplasm called as the nucleoid. Both bacteria and Archaea are classified as prokaryotes.

Viruses though possess genetic material are not characterized into either prokaryotes or eukaryotes as these are acellular and only have the capacity to replicate within the host cell. Viroids are free RNA molecules that unlike viruses lack a protein coat.

fungi are eukaryotes and possess true nucleus surrounded by a nuclear membrane
