Nucleic acids, such as DNA and RNA, primarily reside in the cell nucleus in eukaryotic organisms, where DNA is organized into chromosomes. RNA is synthesized in the nucleus but functions in the cytoplasm, where it plays a key role in protein synthesis. In prokaryotic organisms, nucleic acids are found in the cytoplasm since they lack a defined nucleus. Additionally, some organelles, like mitochondria and chloroplasts, also contain their own nucleic acids.
