The amount of DNA in a cell is dependent on the organism and how many copies of the genome are present in a single cell. The amount of DNA in a plant cell and animal cell cannot be directly compared. There is no way of telling which one contains more DNA unless we look at specific examples.

Does the plant cell or the animal cell contain genetic material?

Both plant cells and animal cells contain genetic material in the form of DNA. This DNA carries instructions for the cell's functions and characteristics. The DNA is located in the nucleus of the cell in both plant and animal cells.


Is there DNA in plant and animal cells?

yes there is


Do plant and animals cells have DNA?

Yes they do, DNA is the blue print for life.


Out of bacterial cells animal cells and plant cells which contain DNA?

Bacterial cells, animal cells, and plant cells all have DNA. DNA contains information for the cell on how to perform tasks. In plant and animal cells, DNA is contained in a nucleus, unlike bacterial cells where DNA is contained in a nucleoid.Hope this helped


Where is DNA located in plant and animal cells?

In plant and animal cells, DNA is located within the nucleus, which is a membrane-bound organelle that houses the cell's genetic material. DNA is organized into structures called chromosomes, which are found within the nucleus. Additionally, plant cells have DNA within organelles called chloroplasts and mitochondria.

What is the difference between animal and plant DNA extraction?

Plant DNA extractionPlant genomic DNA is more difficult to extract because of the plant's cell wall, which is removed by homogenization, or by adding cellulase to degrade the cellulose that makes up the cell wall. Also, the metabolites present in the plant cell may interfere with genomic DNA extraction by contaminating the DNA sample during the precipitation process.Animal DNA ExtractionPeripheral blood leukocytes are a main source of animal genomic DNA, but sample collection is difficult as blood must be withdrawn from the animal. Blood contains a range of compounds like proteins, lipids, white blood cells, red blood cells, platelets, and plasma, which can contaminate the DNA sample. The primary contaminant of animal DNA extracted from blood samples is heme, the non-protein component of hemoglobin.DifferencesThe differences between plant and animal DNA lie in the sequence of bases in the helix. Compounds found in plant cells are absent in animal cells, and DNA base sequences reflect this, as the genomic plant DNA is often larger than animal DNA. These differences affect extraction methods, as it impacts on yield and purity of DNA.


Is a nucleolus in both a plant and animal cell?

yes. the mucleolus contains the animal/plants DNA.


Is it possible for human DNA to be found in hotdogs?

No, it is not possible for human DNA to be found in hotdogs as they are made from animal meat, not human tissue.
