In eukaryots, DNA would be found inside the nucleus, though other molecules that carry genetic information such as some types of RNAs can be found outside the nucleus.

In prokaryotes, DNA occures both in plasmids (circular DNA other than the 'main' genome of bacteria) and DNA clumped in a nucloid, which isn't like the nucleus eukaryotic cells have. Prokaryotes also have RNA in their cytoplasm.

Where would you find a strand of DNA?

In a eukaryotic cell( multi celled/ uni celled), you would find DNA in the nucleus. In a prokaryotic cell( only unicellular) you would find it in the cytoplasm.


Within the nucleus of a cell you can find?

You find DNA in the nucleus of a cell. You also find the nucleolus.


Why would you expect to find both red-long and yellow-long in one resulting daughter cell?

If the genetic information came from one parent cell, that cell would not have contained genes for both red and yellow. Because a parent cell has one set of DNA, that trait would have been either red or yellow, but not both.


Is a chromsomes smaller than a cell?

A chromosome is a strand of DNA which contains genetic information which tells a cell how to carry out it's functions. Every cell in the body (apart from reproductive cells known as gametes) contains the same genetic information stored in these chromosomes. So yes, chromosomes are smaller than cells, as they are a small component of what you find INSIDE a cell.


What kind of cell would you find in a nucleus?

all cells have a necleus because it is what controlls the cell.


A labeled diagram of a cell showing where you would find chromosomes?

Chromosomes are found in the nucleus of a cell. They consist of DNA wrapped around proteins, and they contain the genetic information of the cell. Each chromosome carries multiple genes that determine various traits and characteristics of the organism.


What process MUST happen in the parent cell before it divides?

The parent cell must undergo DNA replication to ensure that each daughter cell receives a complete set of genetic information during cell division. This process ensures that each daughter cell contains the same genetic material as the parent cell.
