1 answer

In eukaryotic cells, deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) can be found in the nucleus and in the cytoplasm (specifically in the mitochondria). Therefore, the correct answer would be in the nucleus & in the cytoplasm.

  • In the nucleus, the DNA contains the majority of the genetic information.
  • In the cytoplasm, DNA is found in mitochondria, which have their own circular DNA, distinct from the nuclear DNA.

Eukaryotic cells do not have DNA in the membrane.
