    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.
