Can DNA be found in both plant and animal cells?

Yes, all known living cells contain deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). This includes animals, plants, other eukaryotes such as yeasts and amoeba, but also prokaryotes such as bacteria. As for viruses, some contain DNA, others RNA, but they are not generally considered to be cells, or alive.

What part of the cell contains DNA apart from the nucleus?

The mitochondria contain their own DNA in plants and animals; and chloroplasts contain their own DNA in plants and other photosynthetic organisms. Both of these structures divide (almost like cells) inside the cells.*This is also evidence for the theory of endosymbiosis, in which early cells ate early prokarotic cells (bacteria) and gained new organelles.

Is it true or false that prokaryotic cells contain more DNA than eukaryotic cells?

False. Prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells both contain DNA, but eukaryotic cells store their DNA in a nucleus, whereas prokaryotic cells have their DNA everywhere throughout the cell.
