In a typical eukaryotic cell, in which organelle is most of the cell’s DNA found?
A
Golgi apparatus
B
Nucleus
C
Rough endoplasmic reticulum
D
Mitochondrion
Verified step by step guidance1
Recall that eukaryotic cells contain multiple organelles, each with specific functions and components.
Understand that DNA is the molecule that carries genetic information necessary for cell function and inheritance.
Identify the organelle primarily responsible for storing the majority of the cell's DNA. In eukaryotic cells, this is the nucleus, which houses most of the genetic material organized into chromosomes.
Note that while mitochondria also contain some DNA, it is only a small fraction compared to the nucleus.
Conclude that among the options given, the nucleus is the organelle where most of the cell's DNA is found.
