Genetic information is stored in nucleic acids. Most organisms, including all animals and plants, store it in DNA, but some viruses store it in RNA.
In a human cell, most of the genetic information is stored in the nucleus, in certain segments of the chromosomes. About 1 or 2 per cent of the length of human chromosomes consists of genes.
The remaining information is in the DNA of each mitochondrion. These contain only 37 genes, against the 20,000 or so found in the nucleus.
In addition, plants have some genes (about 80) in each chloroplast.
Bacteria have a single chromosome, containing most of the cell's genes. Unlike humans, bacteria have no DNA apart from the genes. Some bacterial genetic information is in small rings of DNA called plasmids.
