All biological cells store their genetic information in the form of DNA. DNA is an abbreviation of deoxyribonucleic acid. DNA molecules determine the types of protein synthesised within the cell. Eukaryotes store their DNA in their nucleus and prokaryotes store their DNA in their nucleoid.
The most common locations are in the cell nucleus, mitochondria and ribosomes. slide 1 of 3. RNA, which stands for ribonucleic acid stores and transmits genetic information that is vital for the manufacture of proteins. It carries this information from DNA, which is housed inside the cell nucleus, to the ribosomes. These can be found in the cytoplasm and are the 'factories' which make the proteins. Inside the nucleus RNA transcribes the genetic information by producing a complimentary nucleic acid strand - a copy of a DNA sequence. When it reaches the ribosomes the information is translated to produce a protein.
