Multiple Choice
In a typical eukaryotic cell, which organelle contains most of the cell’s DNA?
A
Rough endoplasmic reticulum
B
Golgi apparatus
C
Nucleus
D
Mitochondrion
Verified step by step guidance1
Step 1: Understand that DNA is the molecule that carries genetic information in cells.
Step 2: Recall that in eukaryotic cells, DNA is primarily located in a specific organelle responsible for storing and protecting genetic material.
Step 3: Review the functions of the given organelles: the rough endoplasmic reticulum is involved in protein synthesis, the Golgi apparatus modifies and packages proteins, and mitochondria generate energy and contain some DNA but not most of it.
Step 4: Recognize that the nucleus is the organelle that contains the majority of the cell's DNA, organized into chromosomes.
Step 5: Conclude that the nucleus is the correct answer because it houses most of the genetic material in a typical eukaryotic cell.
