Where is Genetic Information Located in a Cell

Question

Where is genetic information located in a cell?
A) in the chromosomes
B) in the endoplasmic reticulum
C) in the plasma membrane
D) in the Golgi apparatus

Accepted Answer

Genetic information is located in the chromosomes, which are structures made of DNA and proteins found in the nucleus of a eukaryotic cell or in the nucleoid region of a prokaryotic cell. The endoplasmic reticulum, plasma membrane, and Golgi apparatus are involved in other cellular processes but not in the storage and transmission of genetic information.
