Answer: Nostoc

This is a characteristic of prokaryotic cells, which lack a nucleus. The genetic material in these cells is found in the cytoplasm, not enclosed within a nuclear membrane. On the contrary, Volvox, Agaricus, and Penicillium are all eukaryotic organisms, hence possess a nuclear membrane.
