DNA is found (usually) in each cell of an organism in the nucleus or in an area called a nucleoid.

What words definition is all the DNA in one cell of an organism?

The word is "genome". It refers to the complete set of genetic material (DNA) within an organism's cells, containing all the information necessary for the organism's growth, development, and function.


Does all of the cells of a multi-cellular organism have the same DNA?

That is because there are different parts of DNA that become active depending on the functions and positions of different cells. For example, in a liver cell, the part of DNA that codes for the production of Insulin is not active, therefore, a hepatic cell can not produce Insulin. However, in some pancreatic cells that part of DNA is active and therefore these cells are able to produce Insulin. DNA is not fully activated in any cell.


What is an organism called with only one cell?

An organism made up of only one cell is called a unicellular organism. Examples include bacteria and protozoa. These organisms carry out all the functions of life within a single cell.


What is the nucleic acid that is the genetic part of the cell?

The nucleic acid that is the genetic material of the cell is DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). DNA carries the hereditary information that is passed from one generation to the next and contains the instructions for building and maintaining an organism.


Is the DNA in each cell of a single organism exactly the same?

First of all DNA is not a cell. Second of all if DNA was all the same then we would also be the same in thought, apearance, and function. The only time DNA is the same is when it makes up a multicelled organism (or if a Organism is cloned or for a spieces of unicelluar organisms). This was explained by a seven year old,

What type of organism has a single Cell and one DNA molecule?

They are known as Prokaryotes.


What is DNA from one cell combined DNA from another cell?

The subject you are talking about is probably genetic engineering. If you are able to take a gene from one organism and place it in another then you changed the DNA structure, which most likely can kill the plant, by possibly even creating a cancerous cell. But if the gene is transgenic enough the organism is a transgenic plant or animal.


Is there DNA in a cell?

Yes, DNA is located in the nucleus of a cell, where it stores genetic information that determines an organism's traits. DNA is organized into chromosomes, which are passed down from one generation to the next during cell division.


What is the Significance of host cell in recombinant DNA technology?

The host cell is important in recombinant DNA technology because it is the organism that will replicate the recombinant DNA construct. The DNA construct is inserted into the host cell, which then uses its machinery to produce the desired protein or molecule encoded by the inserted DNA. The choice of host cell is critical as it can affect the efficiency of DNA replication, protein production, and post-translational modifications.


What part of an organism can be used for identification?

The part of an organism that can be used for identification is the nucleus. The nucleus contains DNA which is unique to each person.


Do unicellular organisms have skin cells?

No First of all, a skin cell is not an organism on its own. It has to join other cells to form and organism. Second of all, a skin cell is only one cell. Multicellular organisms have more than one cell.


Which has more DNA plant or animal tissue?

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.


What are moving fragments of DNA from one organism and inserting them into another organism?
