MICROBIOLOGY

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
In human cells, most DNA is found in the:
A
Cytoplasm
B
Nucleus
C
Plasma membrane
D
Ribosome
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -By housing the cell’s genome, the nucleus serves both as the repository of genetic information and as the cell’s control center. DNA replication, transcription, and RNA processing all take place within the nucleus, with only the final stage of gene expression (translation) localized to the cytoplasm.

Detailed explanation-3: -DNA is packed within a chromosome in a cell. There are around 3.16 billion base pairs present in each human cell. These DNAs are spread across in total of 46 chromosomes in a single human cell.

Detailed explanation-4: -The nucleus (plural, nuclei) houses the cell’s genetic material, or DNA, and is also the site of synthesis for ribosomes, the cellular machines that assemble proteins.
