The main DNA in the cell is found in the nucleus.
DNA is also found in two other organelles - the mitochondria and the chloroplasts.

In which orgenelle of a living cell DNA found?
In prokaryotes, the cytoplasm contains the DNA. In eukaryotes, there are several (either two or three) organelles that contain DNA: the nucleus, the mitochondria, and in plants and algae the chloroplasts also.
What is the two organelles that contain their own genetic material?
Mitochondria and chloroplasts. The question asks for organelles with their OWN genetic material. The material from the nucleus already belongs to the cell. Those two evolved from symbiotic prokaryotes and maintain their own DNA.
Name the two organelles in a plant cell that contains their own genetic material and ribosomes?
mitochondria and plastids
What are on chromosomes in a nucleus of a cell?
The cell nucleus contains the majority of the cell's genetic material in the form of multiple linear DNA molecules organized into structures called chromosomes. Each human cell contains roughly two meters of DNA.
What two organelles can have DNA?
Mitochondria and chloroplasts have their own DNA.
How many genomes does a plant cell have?
The largest genome in a plant cell is DNA in its nucleus. However, two organelles in the cell, the mitochondria and chloroplasts each have their own DNA as well, so a plant cell can have up to three different genomes.
What is is the process of cell organelles?
Two organelles are involved. They are cytoplasm and mitochondria
What are 2 organelles that are not visible in a cheek cell?
A human cheek cell contains the same organelles as any other mammal cell and just about the organelles of any animal. It doesn't have several organelles, but the two physical characteristics present in a plant cell but absent in an animal cell are the chloroplast and central vacuole. The chloroplast carries out photosynthesis with its own set of DNA. The central vacuole contrasts with the many smaller vacuoles in an animal cell as the largest organelle in a plant cell. Vacuoles simply store fluids, most always water. Cell Wall is also not found in animal cells.
How do organelles replicate?
Replication is when the process by which a cell makes a copy of the DNA in its nucleus. Mitosis is the stage of the cell cycle during which the cell's nucleus divides into two new nuclei and one copy of the DNA is distributed into each daughter cell.
Why is it necessary for the organelles to double during interphase?
Interphase precedes prophase and metaphase. Metapase is associated with cell growth and division. When cells divide, there should be enough organelles and genetic material to support both the daughter cells formed. Therefore, it is essential the organelles double so as to divide equally into the daughter cells.
Which two organelles contain their own DNA?
Mitochondria and Chloroplast.
What are two organelles that have DNA and proteins?
cytoplasm and nucleas/nucleoid
