Best Answer

the genetic material of the cell is either DNA (Deoxyribose Nucleic acid) or RNA (ribose nucleic acid). DNA is mainly found in the nucleus of a cell, as well as in the mitochondria. It is also seen in chloroplasts in Plant cells.

In eukaryotic cells, such as plant and animal cells, it is the nucleus that contains the majority of DNA and is sometimes called the brain of the cell.

The DNA contained within the nucleus contains the 'blueprints' or instructions for the functional products (i.e. proteins) of the cell. This controls the functions of the cell, which is why the nucleus is sometimes called the brain of the cell.
