DNA will survive in the environment for less than one million years and slowly degrades into short fragments in solution. Claims for older DNA have been made, most notably a report of the isolation of a viable bacterium from a salt crystal 250-million years old, but these claims are controversial.

30 How is information stored and coded in DNA and genes?
how is the information stored and coded in DNA and genes
How do DNA and cromosomes fit together?
Chromosomes are made of DNA. There is a huge amount of DNA in cells. DNA is typically present at a long chain of building blocks called nucleotides. Since long strands of DNA have to be stored in small spaces, they are tightly rolled and packed into structures called chromosomes
Where DNA is stored in an eukaryotic cell?
DNA is in nucleus. Also found some in mitochondria and chloroplasts.
What is DNA is stored in?
cells
The heritable genetic information of an organism is stored in the molecule called?
dna
What is the site of DNA storage?
DNA is tightly wrapped into chromosomes, and stored within the nucleus of each cell
30 How is information stored and coded in DNA and genes?
how is the information stored and coded in DNA and genes
How is genetic information stored in a cell?
by the DNA. by the DNA.
Why does the DNA zip up again?
Because the double helix is the way it is stored. The DNA is so long only parts of it can be unzipped and read at a time.

Where is heredity information stored?
In chromosomes which are stored in DNA strands.
What shape is DNA and how is it stored in cells?
DNA is a double helix
Which statement is most likely to apply to a cell that has DNA within its cytoplasm?
A cell that has DNA within its cytoplasm is stored as chromatin. DNA is stored in the nucleus which is located in the cytoplasm.
