Best Answer

== == = 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

The nucleus of each cell contains the DNA. The nucleus of each cell contains a complete copy of all DNA necessary to produce a new organism.


Doing which phase does DNA synthesis made?

DNA synthesis does not exist and what you are probably looking for cell reproduction or cell mitosis. In cell mitosis there are 6 phases which is interphase when the cell makes the centrioles and begins preparing for the duplication of DNA. In prophase DNA is copied from the nucleus, metaphase aligns the DNA for the split, anaphase separates the DNA and centrioles, and in telophase the cell splits into two separate DNA and centriole developing into 2 new cells.

True or False The nucleus contains very little of the cells DNA?

No - quite the opposite. The nucleus is where almost all of the DNA in a cell is found. Small amounts are also found in some organelles, such as mitochondria - and this is the only form of DNA found outside the nucleus.


What DNA is found in the cell nucleus?

there is no DNA in the cell nucleus however the cell nucleus is important to replicating a cell in DNA strand. (it supprots the chromatin that replicates the DNA)


Why is it important that thr cell's DNA is duplicated before cell division?

If the DNA is not duplicated, then only one cell would have DNA, and a cell cannot live without DNA.
