Which best matches the description with the genetic material? a. Nucleotides form a helical structure that is called a gene. b. Chromosomes are located in the cytoplasm. c. Chromosomes create genes. d. DNA is located in the nucleus.



Answer :

DNA is the main type of genetic material found in a cell. In addition, it is found in the nucleus of the cell, so (D) is correct. DNA in the nucleus is used in replication (through mitosis and meiosis) via daughter cells to continue cell growth.

The right answer is D.

Genetic information, essential to the construction and functioning of the cell and plant, is found mainly in the nucleus. It is the same in all the cells of the plant, which copy it at each cell division. The expression of this information is specific to the function and role of the cell, but the unused information remains.

 

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is the universal carrier of genetic information in living beings.
