Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The genetic material (DNA) in plant and animal cell is found in the
A
central vacuole
B
ER
C
mitochondria
D
nucleus
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Nucleus is large, spherical organelle present in all cells. In animal cell, it is located at the center of the cell, while in plant cell it is located at the periphery of the cell. Genetic material of plant and animal cell is found in nucleus.

Detailed explanation-2: -DNA is primarily located within the nucleus of each cell, where it is contained in structures known as chromosomes. The nucleus is a large area in the center of the cell, responsible for controlling the cell’s activities.

Detailed explanation-3: -1. Plant and animal cells are eukaryotic, meaning that they have nuclei. Eukaryotic cells are found in plants, animals, fungi, and protists. They generally have a nucleus-an organelle surrounded by a membrane called the nuclear envelope-where DNA is stored.

Detailed explanation-4: -In plant cells, most DNA is located in the nucleus, although chloroplasts and mitochondria also contain part of the genetic material.

Detailed explanation-5: -DNA is found in the same shape in the cells of all plants and animals – the well-known “double helix, ” which looks like a twisted ladder.
