The function of the genetic material is to store the information needed by the cell to make proteins. Why only proteins? One reason is that a very important class of molecules - the enzymes - are proteins. By making enzymes, which catalyse all reactions in the cell, the cell is able to control which reactions take place and how fast they happen. For example, red blood cells (before they lose their nucleus) need to make the red oxygen-carrying pigment called haemoglobin. The red cell will use the instructions in the genetic material (DNA) to make the enzymes needed to make haemoglobin. Other cells will make different enzymes to male other substances. http://www.angelfire.com/clone2/nucleic_acids/functions.htm http://www.dnaftb.org/dnaftb/16/concept/index.html
The nucleus contains the genetic material of a cell in the form of DNA.
The genetic material is located in the nucleus of the cell. Before mitosis can occur, the DNA must replicate to ensure that each daughter cell receives a complete set of genetic material.
At the end of mitosis, the genetic material in one cell is divided into two identical sets, with each set going to a new daughter cell. This ensures that each new cell has a complete and identical copy of the genetic material from the original cell.
The genetic material of an animal cell is located in the nucleus- this contains the chromosomal DNA of the cell
DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is the genetic material of the cell. It contains the instructions for building and maintaining an organism.
The genetic material in a bacteria cell is found in the cytoplasm.
The genetic material is in the cytoplasm.
The genetic material is in the cytoplasm.
Genetic material is found in the nucleus.
The genetic material of the cell is found in the nucleus. This material (DNA) can reproduce inside the cell by a process known as replication.
