It is not the nucleoid like the person before me said. DNA is actually found in the nucleus of Bacteria. A thirteen- year old girl who is taking basic biology knew this of the top of her head! :) If the person of above me would have taken biology themselves instead of listening to naive 13 year old girls, they would know that a bacteria cell does not have a nucleus therefore the DNA is found in the nucleoid region. Get some of that.
what does nucleoid region mean
Bacteria are considered prokaryotes simply because they do not have a nucleus where DNA is packed into chromatins, instead they have an open area called the nucleoid where the DNA is placed without any chromatins... ---- http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d4/Celltypes.png
Nucleoid region, where it is suspended in the cytoplasm.
Prokaryotes (bacteria). Instead of nucleus, bacterial DNA is stored in a region known as nucleoid, as well as in circular structures known as plasmids.
The nucleoid.
A bacteriumNucleoid region is in bacteria. Eukariyotes have a nucleus
The prokaryotic kingdom, which includes bacteria and archaea, do not have a nucleus in their cells. Instead, their DNA is found in the cytoplasm in a region called the nucleoid.
A prokaryote is a bacteria without membrane-bound organelles such as a mitochondria. The genetic material is found in the nucleoid region, as a nucleus is a membrane bound organelle.
Bacteria are prokaryotic organisms, and therefore do not have a nucleus. The DNA found within bacteria is located in the cytoplasm - in an area called the nucleoid. It is not surrounded by a membrane like in eukaryotic cells.

No its only a prokaryotic cell part and do not found in eukaryotes
Bacteria .
what does nucleoid region mean
The portion within a prokaryotic cell where the genetic material is found. Contrasted to eukaryotes with a nucleus, prokaryotes have a nucleoid where the genetic material can be found. The nucleoid is different from the nucleus of the eukaryotes in a way that the genetic material is not enclosed in a membrane to separate it from the cytoplasm. The nucleoid is a region of cytoplasm where the chromosomal DNA is located. It is not a membrane bound nucleus, but simply an area of the cytoplasm where the strands of DNA are found. Most bacteria have a single, circular chromosome that is responsible for replication, although a few species do have two or more. Smaller circular auxiliary DNA strands, called plasmids, are also found in the cytoplasm.
