RNA and DNA are both the instruction on how to create proteins, which then determine our specific traits. Where does DNA live in the cell? How is it packaged within the cell?
DNA is located in the nucleus, but can also be found in other cell structures called mitochondria. Since the nucleus is so small, the DNA needs to be tightly packaged into bundles known as chromosomes.
DNA is found mainly in the nucleus, although it can be found in some mitochondria. RNA is found in the cytoplasm. However RNA is synthesized in the nucleus.
