Where is the genetic information stored in mice?
A
In the nucleus
B
In the mitochondria
C
In the cytoplasm
D
In the ribosomes
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that genetic information in organisms is stored in the form of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid).
Recognize that in eukaryotic organisms, such as mice, the majority of genetic information is stored in the nucleus of the cell. This is where the chromosomes, which are made up of DNA, are located.
Acknowledge that mitochondria, the energy-producing organelles in cells, also contain a small amount of genetic information. This is known as mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA).
Clarify that the cytoplasm is the gel-like substance within the cell membrane that contains all organelles, but it does not store genetic information itself.
Understand that ribosomes are the cellular structures where protein synthesis occurs, and while they read genetic information from mRNA, they do not store genetic information themselves.
