In human cells, DNA is found in both the nucleus (in the form of chromatin) and mitochondria. In plant cells, DNA is found in both the nucleus (again, in chromatin),chloroplasts, and mitochondria. Fun fact regarding mitochondria; you inherit only your mother's mitochondria, and consequently, the same mitochondrial DNA. I hope this helps!
What else can I help you with?
Why do Mitochondria are the only organelles that contain their own DNA circular and have a double membrane?
The double membrane suggests that they were subjected to phagocytosis, yet not digested. The circular DNA suggests that this organism was a free living prokaryote at one time. Both pieces of evidence suggest that a symbiotic relationship ( or a slave relationship ) was established between two simple organisms. This is called the theory of endosymbiosis. Google Lynn Margulis.
What are the structers that contain the DNA of each cell?
Generally, the DNA is contained in the nucleus of what are called eukaryotic cells, i.e.cells which have a membrane bound nucleus. In prokaryotic cells, cells which do not have a membrane bound nucleus the DNA is found in the nucleoid region as a single loop of DNA. However, DNA is also found in the energy producing organelles called mitochondria.
How does a protists differ from a Monera?
yes the key factor is because monerans have been around longer obviously
What two organelles contain their own DNA?
The two organelles that contain their own DNA are the mitochondria and the chloroplasts. These organelles have their own genetic material that is separate from the cell's nuclear DNA and is involved in their ability to produce energy through processes like respiration and photosynthesis.
What are membrane covered organelles?
this are organelles enclosed by a membrane
What two other organelles besides the mitochondria contain DNA and have a double membrane?
The two other organelles that contain DNA and have a double membrane are the nucleus and the chloroplast. The nucleus contains the majority of the cell's genetic material, while chloroplasts are found in plant cells and are responsible for photosynthesis.
Is the DNA found in the membrane?
DNA is not typically found in the cell membrane. DNA is mainly located in the cell nucleus, where it carries genetic information. Certain organelles, like mitochondria and chloroplasts, also contain DNA, but it is not associated with the cell membrane.

What 2 characteristics do all eukaryotes share?
Eukaryotes contain Nuclei and membrane bound organelles and they're DNA is found in a Nucleus, away from the rest of the cell
Name the cell organelles which contain DNA?
The three organelles that contain DNA are the nucleus, mitochondria, and chloroplasts. The nucleus contains the largest amount of DNA in the cell.
Which organelles contain DNA?
The nucleus and mitochondria are organelles that contain DNA. The nucleus contains the majority of the cell's DNA, while mitochondria have their own independent DNA apart from the cell's nuclear DNA.
Do mitochondria contain DNA why?
Yes it does because of the organelles that are in it
What are the structers that contain the DNA of each cell?
Generally, the DNA is contained in the nucleus of what are called eukaryotic cells, i.e.cells which have a membrane bound nucleus. In prokaryotic cells, cells which do not have a membrane bound nucleus the DNA is found in the nucleoid region as a single loop of DNA. However, DNA is also found in the energy producing organelles called mitochondria.
Which two organelles contain their own DNA?
Mitochondria and Chloroplast.
Which organelles of cells contain DNA?
The Nucleus... 100% sure
Which three organelles contain DNA?
Mitochondria, chloroplasts and the nucleus.
What does eukaryotes and prokaryotes both contain?
They both do have cell membranes, genetic material, and molecules such as ribosomes,vacuoles in common. Prokaryotes are ancient living forms lacking developed cellular organelles. Eukaryotes have organelles nucleus, ER, mitochondria, Golgi for distinct functions.
