In prokaryotes the DNA floats freely in the cytoplasm.
In eukaryotes the majority of the DNA is contained within an organelle called the nucleus and there is none in the cytoplasm. Smaller amounts of DNA is contained in other organelles (e.g. mitochondria, chloroplasts, ribosomes).
The cytoplasm itself contains no genetic information in either case.
There are many exceptions to the rule in genetics. One of them is that not all inherited characters are determined by genes located in the nucleus. A small minority are controlled by genes located in cell organelles in the cytoplasm i.e. cytoplasmic genes, and these of course are exceptions to the chromosome theory of inheritance. Since they are extrachromosomal (i.e. outside the chromosomes), such genes are not subject to the normal rules of Mendelian heredity.
Chromosomes contain the genetic information that determines an organism's traits, such as its physical characteristics and biochemical functions. They also play a crucial role in transmitting this genetic information from one generation to the next through the process of cell division.
Cells use nucleic acids, specifically DNA and RNA, to store genetic information. These molecules are composed of nucleotides which contain the genetic code.
RNA itself does not contain genes, but RNA is involved in the expression of genes. RNA is transcribed from genes in the DNA and carries the genetic information to create proteins through a process called translation.
The transmission of genetic information from parent to offspring is called genetics or genetic transmission. Such genetic information includes height, eye and hair color.
The similarity between DNA and RNA is that they are both nucleic acids that contain genetic information and are made up of similar building blocks called nucleotides.
Yes, these are called the hepatic lobules. All cells contain cell-sap containing vacuoles.
These "tiny sacs" are called vacuoles, but there are many other vacuoles that contain things other than starch.
The genetic material in daughter cells is called chromosomes. These structures contain the genetic information passed down from the parent cell to the daughter cells during cell division.
First of all you're question is flawed. All living things contain genetic information, and therefore seeing as the cell is the smallest unit of life they must all contain genetic information. Prokaryotic cells have naked DNA, meaning it is not encapsulated in a nucleus while eukaryotic cells contain the DNA in a nucleus.

The packets of information in each cell's nucleus are called chromosomes. Chromosomes contain DNA, which carries the genetic information necessary for cell function and inherited traits.
The central vacuoles contain little water in the wilted plant.
The genetic information in cells is stored in molecules called DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid). These molecules contain the genetic instructions that are inherited and passed on to offspring. DNA serves as the primary genetic material in most organisms, while RNA plays a crucial role in protein synthesis and gene regulation.
Chromosomes contain the genetic information that determines an organism's traits, such as its physical characteristics and biochemical functions. They also play a crucial role in transmitting this genetic information from one generation to the next through the process of cell division.
A chromosome with matching information is called a homologous chromosome. Homologous chromosomes have the same genes at the same loci, although they may have different versions of those genes. These chromosomes are inherited, one from each parent.
Cells use nucleic acids, specifically DNA and RNA, to store genetic information. These molecules are composed of nucleotides which contain the genetic code.
The nucleus consists of two membranes, one called the NUCLEAR ENVELOPE. The nuclear envelope surrounds the cell's genetic information. This genetic information is contained in structures called CHROMOSOMES. In addition to chromosomes, most nuclei contain a region called the NUCLEOLUS.
