DNA in eukaryotic cells is contained in the…
A. central vacuole
B. nucleus
C. lysosome
D. golgi body
QUICK ANSWER…
B
DETAILS…
The DNA and other genetic materials like the chromosomes, are located either in the nucleus for eukaryotic cells, or in form of nucleoid in the cytoplasm of a prokaryotic cell.
Now to the options…
- Option A is incorrect; DNA not located in the central vacuole.
- Option B is very correct; genetic materials including the DNA is located in the nucleus of an eukaryotic cell.
- The lysosome has nothing to do with storing genetic materials, it concerns itself with secretion and carrying of digestive enzymes, so, C is incorrect.
- Actually, D is also incorrect; A golgi body concerns itself with chemical processing, packaging and transportation of materials, it concerns less about the DNA.
QUICK ADVICE…
You may please note that:
- Eukaryotic cells are cells with clear and identifiable nucleus.
- Prokaryotic cells are those with no nucleus; they have their DNA and genetic materials stored in the cytoplasm as nucleoids.
