Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the structure of a eukaryotic cell: Eukaryotic cells have a defined nucleus and various organelles, each with specific functions.
Identify the role of the nucleus: The nucleus is the organelle that houses most of the cell's genetic material in the form of DNA.
Consider the function of mitochondria: While mitochondria do contain some DNA, it is a small fraction compared to the nucleus. Mitochondrial DNA is involved in energy production processes.
Evaluate the role of ribosomes: Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis and do not contain DNA.
Assess the cytoplasm: The cytoplasm is the gel-like substance within the cell membrane, excluding the nucleus, and does not contain DNA. Most of the DNA is located in the nucleus.
