What organelle carries hereditary material?

In those cells that are eukaryotes, the organelle is the nucleus. In those that are not, the genetic material is not found in an organelle but just condensed in the cytoplasm.

yes, DNA is found in the Nucleoid Region, then there are Plasmids, which also contain genetic material.


When the cells in an organism divide and reproduce the organism can grow. Which cell organelle contains the genetic material for reproduction?

The cell organelle that contains the genetic material for reproduction is the nucleus. The nucleus houses the organism's DNA, which carries the genetic information necessary for cell division and the development of new cells. During reproduction, this genetic material is replicated and passed on to the daughter cells, enabling growth and development.


Do all cells have a copy of the hereditary material?

Yes, all cells have a copy of the genetic material found in the other cells (red blood cells are an exception, as they have no nucleus).

Where does the genetic material in the cell from the inner lining of the intestine stay?

The genetic material in the cells from the inner lining of the intestine, primarily found in the cell nucleus, remains within the cells themselves. These cells are part of the epithelial tissue that lines the intestine, and they continuously renew and shed into the intestinal lumen. The nucleus contains the DNA that carries the genetic information necessary for the cells' functions and regeneration. Hence, the genetic material is retained within the cells and not released into the intestinal cavity.


Where is the genetic material in cells located?

A cells genetic material is located in its nucleus. In the nucleus there is everything the cell needs to know to survive and reproduce. I hope this helped:)

What is the genetic material contained inside a cells nucleus?

The genetic material contained inside a cell's nucleus is DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). This DNA carries the instructions for the development, functioning, growth, and reproduction of an organism. It is organized into structures called chromosomes.
