Scelta multipla
In a typical eukaryotic cell, where is most of the cell’s DNA located?
A
In ribosomes attached to the rough endoplasmic reticulum
B
In lysosomes where it is stored and protected from enzymes
C
In the nucleus as chromatin organized into chromosomes
D
In the cytosol free in solution
Guida verificata passo dopo passo1
Recall the main organelles and structures within a typical eukaryotic cell and their functions.
Understand that DNA is the molecule that carries genetic information and is primarily stored in a specific organelle.
Identify that the nucleus is the organelle responsible for housing most of the cell's DNA in the form of chromatin, which is DNA wrapped around proteins and organized into chromosomes.
Recognize that ribosomes, lysosomes, and the cytosol do not store the majority of the cell's DNA; ribosomes are involved in protein synthesis, lysosomes in degradation, and cytosol is the fluid matrix.
Conclude that the correct location of most of the cell's DNA is in the nucleus as chromatin organized into chromosomes.
