Yes, plant cells contain DNA. They contain it because DNA is necessary to the cells so that they can carry the instructions to carry out life functions and reproduce.

Only the cell nucleus contains DNA; the other parts of the cell do not.


What materials are composed of DNA?

DNA is found in the cells of all living organisms, including animals, plants, fungi, and bacteria. It is present in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells and in the cytoplasm of prokaryotic cells. Additionally, some viruses also contain DNA.


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.


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

False. Eukaryotic cells generally contain more DNA than prokaryotic cells. Eukaryotic cells have their DNA enclosed within a nucleus, whereas prokaryotic cells have their DNA located in the cytoplasm.


How valuable are red blood cells in DNA typing?

Red blood cells do not contain a nucleus, which means they lack DNA. As a result, red blood cells are not useful for DNA typing. Instead, white blood cells, which do contain DNA, are typically used for DNA profiling and typing in forensic analysis.


How do you plant cells divide DNA if they don't have chromosomes?

Plants are higher level eukaryotic organisms and therefore contain chromosomes.


Do fungi have in common with plants?

They are eukaryotes, multicellular, have nuclei, and have cell walls. Their cells have nuclei that contain DNA --- nova net


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.


Does water contain DNA?

No, water does not contain DNA. DNA is a molecule found in the cells of living organisms, not in water.
