Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
DNA is found in the ____ of animal and plant cells.
A
mitochondrion
B
golgi body
C
nucleus
D
endoplasmic reticulum
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Although chloroplasts and mitochondria contain some genetic material, the nucleus contains the majority of DNA in plant cells. 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.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -In plant cells, most DNA is located in the nucleus, although chloroplasts and mitochondria also contain part of the genetic material.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
