Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
True or False:Genetic information (DNA) is stored in the cell’s vacuole.
A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Vacuoles have membranes that contain fluids. It does not have DNA.

Detailed explanation-2: -Genetic information is carried in the linear sequence of nucleotides in DNA. Each molecule of DNA is a double helix formed from two complementary strands of nucleotides held together by hydrogen bonds between G-C and A-T base pairs.

Detailed explanation-3: -The genetic information of the cell (i.e., DNA) is stored in the nucleus. This organelle is the hallmark of eukaryotic cells, and it is a double membrane-bound structure. A specific part of the nucleus is the nucleolus, which makes ribosomes.

Detailed explanation-4: -All of the genetic information in a cell was initially thought to be confined to the DNA in the chromosomes of the cell nucleus. It is now known that small circular chromosomes, called extranuclear, or cytoplasmic, DNA, are located in two types of organelles found in the cytoplasm of the cell.
