Where Is DNA Located in Plant Cells? All cells contain genetic information encoded in a spiral-ladder shaped molecule called DNA. Plants and animals are eukaryotes, meaning their DNA is stored in a structure inside the cell called the nucleus. DNA consists of two sugar-phosphate backbones with bases attached to each.
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.
