Detailed explanation-1: -DNA is the hereditary material found in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells (animal and plant) and the cytoplasm of prokaryotic cells (bacteria) that determines the composition of the organism. DNA is found in the nucleus of every cell, and it is exactly the same in each cell.
Detailed explanation-2: -All plants and animals are made up of cells where the genetic material can be found in the form of genes and chromosomes (usually in the nucleus).
Detailed explanation-3: -The nucleus is particularly important among eukaryotic organelles because it is the location of a cell’s DNA.
Detailed explanation-4: -Threads of chromatin in the nucleus contain deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), the genetic material of the cell. The nucleolus is a dense region of ribonucleic acid (RNA) in the nucleus and is the site of ribosome formation. The nucleus determines how the cell will function, as well as the basic structure of that cell.
Detailed explanation-5: -Genes are contained in chromosomes, which are in the cell nucleus. A chromosome contains hundreds to thousands of genes.
