Question

Where is DNA found?

Answer 1

DNA is found in the chromosomes of our cells and in our mitochondria. In plants, this genetic material is also found inside plastids, such as chloroplasts.

Answer 2

Most DNA is located in the cell nucleus (where it is called nuclear DNA), but a small amount of DNA can also be found in the mitochondria (where it is called mitochondrial DNA or mtDNA). Mitochondria are structures within cells that convert the energy from food into a form that cells can use.
