The Nucleus and mitochondria in eucaryotes
What else can I help you with?
What part of the plant cell stores DNA?
Plants store DNA in the NUCLEUS of the cell.
What store information in the cell?
DNA
Does DNA store information that directs the activities of a cell?
yes it does.
Where does a cell store its information?
In the nucleus it also holds the DNA
Where does DNA exist in a cell?
== == = Cell nucleus = Eukaryotic organisms (animals, plants, fungi, and protists) store most of their DNA inside the cell nucleus and some of their DNA in organelles, such as mitochondria or chloroplasts. Prokaryotes (bacteria and archaea) store their DNA in the cytoplasm
What directs all cell activities and houses DNA?
All cells store DNA and direct itself to do cell activities that it normally would do. The nucleus is what stores the DNA and directs cell activities, but it is not a cell. The nucleus is an organelle.
Do protein store genetic information?
No, nucleic acids, such as DNA and RNA, store and translate genetic information into proteins. DNA -> RNA -> proteins The central dogma of molecular cell Biology.
What organelles in cell contains the DNA?
The nucleus is the organelle that has DNA because the nucleus also has chromosomes which store directions that carry information that controls the cell's activities.
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.
Does an animal with a bigger genome need a larger cell nucleus to store its DNA?
yes
Where does a prokaryotic cell store its DNA?
Bacteria are prokaryotic organisms, and therefore do not have a nucleus. The DNA found within bacteria is located in the cytoplasm - in an area called the nucleoid. It is not surrounded by a membrane like in eukaryotic cells.
Which part of a blood cell is used for DNA profiling?
The DNA in the nucleus, although this would need to be a white blood cell as red blood cells have no nucleus, instead using the space to store oxygen.
