Cellular blueprints, or "genes" are stored within the nucleus of the cell, and are found in the form of DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid. Certain lengths of DNA are instructions that code for all of the cellular components, or proteins. The DNA is processed via a process known as transcription, where the DNA instructions are copied, and translation (which occurs in the cytoplasm), where the actual directions are "read", and translated into building blocks called amino acids, which are used to build proteins and other components within the cell.

In the cells of most organisms genetic information is contained in the what?
In eukaryotic cells, most genetic information is stored within the nucleus. Mitochondria within the cell also have unique genetic information. In prokaryotic cells, genetic information is in an area called the nucleolus.
Egg cells are stored in the?
They are stored in the Ovaries
Why is pepsin stored under pepsinogen?
Pepsinogen becomes pepsin when activated by the stomach's Hydrochloric acid. This protein digest proteins, it could not be produced nor stored in the body's cells in its active form because it would destroy the cell that made it. The cells protect themselves by producing and storing the enzyme in an inactivated form.
What is DNA is stored in?
cells
Where is calcium stored?
Calcium is largely stored in bones. In cells, it is stored in the smooth endoplasmic reticulum.
Where is genetic information stored and copied?
the nucleus stores all the genetic information (DNA)
What stores food for cells or waste material for cells?
Vacuolecantain stored food for cells or wast material form cells.
Where is genetic information stored and duplicated?
The genetic material of cells is stored in the nucleolus. It is duplicated by ribosomes in the nucleus.
Energy for use in cells is stored in the form?
Chemical-bond energy
Why is iron not stored or transported in its free form?
iron can not be storde or transported in its free form because is toxic. so it stored inside of cells as ferritin and hemosiderin
Does the nucleus store DNA?
Yes it does. The cell stores information in the form of DNA, and most of the cell's DNA is located inside the nucleus. When a cell divides, the information stored in DNA must be reproduced and passed intact to the 2 daughter cells.

Which type of document stored in cells?
Documents are not stored in cells
Where and in what form is eukaryotic DNA found?
DNA is stored in threadlike, tangled structures called chromatin inside the nucleus of a eukaryotic cell. During mitosis, chromatin changes into structures called chromosomes. Each time the cell divides, the genetic information carried by the chromosomes is passed to the two newly formed cells, where it is stored as DNA in their nuclei.
What form of energy is stored in dry cells?
chemical energy
How change red cells form if blood stored in refrigerators?
The red blood cells in blood that is stored in refrigeration measured by the hematocrit count shows that red blood cells die quickly and the blood is not as rich in red blood cells and shouldn't be used pastæ35 days.
How can a computer remember things?
A computer stores information in form of bits, in different ways. For example, on a hard disk, where your information is stored in the long term, the information is stored through magnetization, while on a CD, of the printed type, each bit of information is stored by the presence or absence of a hole.
