Animal cells and plant cells are eukaryotic cells, that is, their genetic material (DNA) is stored within the nucleus.

These two types of cells, even though they are eukaryotes, still have some differences.

Plant cells have vacuole, chloroplast, and cell wall (these structures are absent in animal cells). Mitochondria are an organelle that is present in both animal and plant cells.

The correct statements are A and B:

A) Both plant and animal cells can have mitochondria;

B) In animal cells, chromosomes contain the master plan for cellular activities and cell development;

Statement "C" is incorrect because both animal and plant cells have a nucleus.
