According to biologists, the nucleus is the organelle in organisms that genetic material can be found because DNA and nucleic acid is stored inside the nucleus.

Do some organisms not have DNA or RNA?
It would be easier to ask what organisms do not have DNA, as all living organisms contain genetic material within them. The answer would be those viruses that only employ RNA as a replication agent such as the Tobacco Mosaic Virus.
What cell organelle has a function of the excretory system?
The cell membrane. This organelle is selectively permeable and controls what goes in and out of the cell. Similar to the excretory system, it allows material to move out of the cell.
What is the study of one celled organisms?
The person who studies microscopic organisms is called Microbiologist.
If the s phase were eliminated from the cell cycle the daughter cells would be?
the daughter cells would contain half the genetic material found in the parent cell because the S phase is the phase in which DNA is duplicated
Which component would be most likely candidate for the genetic material?
DNA and Protein
How is gene inheritence different between sexual and asexual reproduction?
In sexually reproducing organisms the progeny receive 1/2 genetic material from the female and 1/2 genetic material from the male and this would insure some genetic variation aside from all the other genetic variation methods. In asexual reproduction the progeny inherit 100% of the genetic material and are, to an extent, closes of the progenitor organism.
What would happen if the nucleus didn't have genetic materials?
A cell cannot function without genetic material (with the exception of red blood cells, which do function without genetic material - all they have to do is to contain hemoglobin and float in the blood as it circulates). However, in organisms called prokaryotes the genetic information is not present in the nucleus but in the cytoplasm. This is possible because their genetic material is very simple and does not need the nucleus to protect it from harm.
Which organelle would you expect to find in only in autotrophic organisms?
chloroplast
What organelle would you exspect to find in autotrophic organisms?
chloroplast
What cell would you expect to find only in autotrophic organisms?
Autotrophic organisms are animals or plants that can create their own energy from the Sun. The organelle most common in these organisms are chloroplasts.
Would find the genetic material in a cell?
the answer is yes.
Many scientists think genetic material was composed of protein because?
Protein was originally thought to be the genetic material because of its complexity, protein is made up 20 different amino acids while DNA only consists of four bases. This was logical as the complexity would account for diversity in organisms. But after more research was done it was realized that DNA was actually the genetic material.
Why is chromosomes useful?
Chromosomes are are your genetic material. Without them you would not exist.

Why would sterility be a good thing for organisms with a genetic defect?
Sterility means that they cannot reproduce, which would prevent the genetic defect from being passed on to future generations.
What is essnetial to evolution?
Genetic and morphological variation. Without variation in organisms there would only be the shifts of genetic drift and gene flow in organisms. When organusms are varied then one can be selected from the other by the environment and the organisms ability to reproduce against that environment. Then there is evolution.
