Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Plant vacuoles do not contain nuclei and therefore do not contain nucleic acids. However, nucleic acids are found in the other structures listed. The nucleus is the control center of the cell and contains the cell's genetic material, DNA. Mitochondria have their own DNA, known as mitochondrial DNA, which is involved in energy production. Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis, which requires both DNA and RNA. Prokaryotic cells, which include bacteria and archaea, have a single circular chromosome made of DNA.
