Yes it does. The cell stores information in the form of DNA, and most of the cell's DNA is located inside the nucleus. When a cell divides, the information stored in DNA must be reproduced and passed intact to the 2 daughter cells.

The nucleus store the DNA needed to synthesize which molecule in the cytoplasm?

The nucleus stores the DNA needed to synthesize messenger RNA (mRNA) in the cytoplasm. mRNA carries the genetic information from the DNA in the nucleus to the ribosomes in the cytoplasm where protein synthesis occurs.


Where does DNA exist in a cell?

== == = Cell nucleus = Eukaryotic organisms (animals, plants, fungi, and protists) store most of their DNA inside the cell nucleus and some of their DNA in organelles, such as mitochondria or chloroplasts. Prokaryotes (bacteria and archaea) store their DNA in the cytoplasm


Does endoplasmic reticulum store DNA?

No, the Golgi body does not store DNA. It receives lipids and proteins from the rough endoplasmic reticulum and then sorts them and packs them into vesicles. The vesicles are then sent out to the body.


DNA molecules can be found both in the nucleus and in the?

Eukaryotes (e.g. - animals, plants, fungi) store DNA inside the cell nucleus. Prokaryotes (e.g. - bacteria) store DNA inside the cell's nucleus. Inside chromosomes, chromatin proteins like histones compact and organize the DNA. SOURCE: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA


How does the storage of the DNA of a prokaryotic cell differ from that of a eukaryotic cell?

In a eukaryotic cell DNA is stored in a nucleus as chromatin ( unless the cell is in the process of mitosis in which the DNA would arrange itself as chromosomes) However a prokaryotic cell has no nucleus, the genetic material is stored in the cytoplasm of the cell, prokaryotic cells also have a plasmid which is a ring of DNA which is separate to the main genetic material. This plasmid contains DNA not found in the main genetic material. The plasmid is also in the cytoplasm.

Is DNA An organelle?

No. DNA is store in the nucleus which is an organelle but the DNA specifically is not considered an organelle


Does the endoplasmic reticulum store DNA?

No - DNA is in the nucleus and the ER is in the cytoplasm outside the nucleus. Some ER does have ribosomal RNA attached to it, but not DNA.


What directs all cell activities and houses DNA?

All cells store DNA and direct itself to do cell activities that it normally would do. The nucleus is what stores the DNA and directs cell activities, but it is not a cell. The nucleus is an organelle.


What organelles contain cells DNA?

The nucleus is the organelle that has DNA because the nucleus also has chromosomes which store directions that carry information that controls the cell's activities.
