Apart from the nucleus, cell organelles like chloroplasts and mitochondria also contain DNA which encode enzymes necessary for their functions.
Did you also know that your mitochondrial DNA has solely come from your mom's mitochondrial DNA? That's because mitochondrial DNA is maternally inherited just as the Y-chromosome is paternally inherited.
Mitochondria and chloroplasts both contain DNA that is separate from that of the nucleus.
In animal cells, the mitochondria also contain some DNA and possibly some RNA. In plant cells, the chloroplast can have DNA and RNA in it as well.
Mitochondria and Chloroplasts
chloroplasts also contain DNA
chromosomes
The cell nucleus.
Chromosomes are found within the headquarters or prime component of the cell known as the nucleus. It is surrounded by a viscous (thick like) fluid known as the nucleoplasm. Chromosomes are NOT located within the cells cytoplasm where other cellular organelles normally reside eg. Golgi apparatus, endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria etc. However, in single celled bacteria there is no nucleus, just the genetic material (the chromosomes) suspended in cytoplasm. Genetic material is also found in mitochondria and chloroplasts and both these organelles are present in the cytoplasm.
There are many organelles found in the cytoplasm. Here are a few. Mitochondria Golgi Body Nucleus Endoplasmic Reticulum Chloroplast (Only plants) Lysosome
Water soluble molecules such as protein and RNA.
A term for all the contents of a cell other than the nucleus is a Cytoplasm.
The material between the cell membrane and nucleus is the cytoplasm. The cytoplasm contains many organelles, the cytoplasme is a jellylike fluid that is constanly moving.
The cytoplasm houses all the organelles of the cell. In fact, save the nucleus, all the organelles are part of the cytoplasm. They themselves contain it. (The nucleus has its own substance - karyoplasm). Nonetheless, you could say the nucleus was IN the cytoplasm. Mitochondria, lysosomes, peroxisomes, chloroplasts, glyoxisomes and nuclei are all found in the cytoplasm --- as are all the other organelles in existence. :)
Cytoplasm
The chloroplast is an organelle found in animal cells and photosynthetic bacteria. Cytoplasm is the contents of the plant cell, including the nucleus, but excludes the cytosol, the organelles and other liquids
cytoplasm
The substance in which all of the organelles are suspended is called cytoplasm. It fills the space between cell wall/cell membrane. It is technically an organelle, although it does not have a specific function other than to alllow other organelles (like small vacuoles and lysosomes) to move inside the cell.
All organelles, including nucleus, mitochondria, ribosome, and every other organelles are found within the cytoplasm.
Yes. Lysosome, like all other organelles, reside within the cytoplasm.
A fluid the other organelle sit upon is called cytoplasm. The cytoplasm is a thick, liquid residing between the cell membrane holding organelles.
The Cytoplasm
In terms of the cell, the other major division that is non-cytoplasm is the nucleus.
