DEFINING INDIGENOUS PEOPLES. There is no rigid definition of what makes a group Indigenous, but the United Nations and the International Labour Organization have outlined a few characteristics that usually define an Indigenous group: â We are descended from the pre-colonial/pre-invasion inhabitants of our region.
Those that are eukaryotes have cells that contain a nucleus. The nucleus is an organelle that contains the genetic information for that organism. In an animal cell, the nucleus is located in the central region of the cell. In a plant cell, the nucleus is located more on the periphery due to the large water-filled vacuole in the center of the cell.
In eukaryotic cells, like in the maize cell shown here, DNA is located in the nucleus, the mitochondria and the chloroplasts (occuring only in plants and some protists). 1  The nucleus contains most DNA. It is present in this compartment in the form of linear chromosomes that together constitute the genome.
