Detailed explanation-1: -Eukaryotic DNA never leaves the nucleus; instead, it’s transcribed (copied) into RNA molecules, which may then travel out of the nucleus.
Detailed explanation-2: -Inside the cell, DNA is the source of genetic information and binds histones to form nucleosomes. DNA can exit the cell, however, to enter the extracellular space primarily during cell death, either apoptosis or necrosis, as well as NETosis.
Detailed explanation-3: -Most DNA is located in the cell nucleus (where it is called nuclear DNA), but a small amount of DNA can also be found in the mitochondria (where it is called mitochondrial DNA or mtDNA). Mitochondria are structures within cells that convert the energy from food into a form that cells can use.
