All groups of white blood cells have DNA. When a blood sample is procured for the isolation of DNA, the white blood cells are the target cells since they have nuclei containing DNA. Red blood cells on the other hand, contain neither nuclei nor DNA

What is the source of DNA in blood?
Every cell has DNA in it, even blood cells. DNA is an important part of cells, there can't be a cell without DNA.
Where in a cell would you find DNA?
DNA can be found inside the nucleus of every cell, except for red blood cells. Small amounts of DNA can also be found in mitochondria.
What percent of the cell's volume does DNA take up?
This cannot be answered without reference to cell type etc. A human red blood cell has no DNA! A gamete cell has 1/2 quantity, a cell prior to cell division has double, a polyploid plant cell has many times more DNA than normal.
What DNA is found in the cell nucleus?
there is no DNA in the cell nucleus however the cell nucleus is important to replicating a cell in DNA strand. (it supprots the chromatin that replicates the DNA)
What is a relaxed form of DNA in the nucleus of a cell?
Chromatin.A evenly mixing of blood cells throu out the body
What is the source of DNA in blood?
Every cell has DNA in it, even blood cells. DNA is an important part of cells, there can't be a cell without DNA.
What is unique about the red blood cell in terms of the nucleas and DNA?
A mature red blood cell does not have a nucleus or DNA.
Where is DNA founf in a cell?
blood
Would you expect to get a positive DNA test in a mature red blood cell?
Red blood cell doesn't contain DNA.. It lacks nucleus..
A human blood sample would be suitable to carry out a DNA test but a sample of red blood cell would not?
Exactly, because a red blood cell has no nucleus and therefore no DNA
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.
How much DNA is in white blood cells?
There is as much DNA in white blood cells as any other cell. There is none in red blood cells.
Do any cells contain less or no DNA content?
Yes, there is one type of cell which does not contain DNA, and that is the red blood cell.
Is there a deoxyribonucleic acid DNA in every living cell?
No. An example would be the red blood cell (RBC). It has no nucleus, and therefore has no DNA.
How is the shape of nerve cell different from a blood cell?
A red blood cell is a single structure that is biconcave in shape.A never cell has a body and a structure that extends from the body called the axon.This is the reason why the red blood cell looks different from the nerve cell.
Where in a cell would you find DNA?
DNA can be found inside the nucleus of every cell, except for red blood cells. Small amounts of DNA can also be found in mitochondria.
What did the pus have in it that held the DNA?
DNA is contained in the cell nucleus, a d pus is made from White Blood Cells.
