-Where is DNA found inside our cells? nucleus
-What is the difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic? prokaryotic doesn't have a nucleus and eukaryotic has a nucleus.

-What is the function of DNA?
It's the code which ensures that daughter cells inherit the same characteristics as the parent cells
DNA is the code from which all protein is synthesised
All prokaryotes, eukaryote and some viruses have DNA
All DNA code is composed from four nucleotide bases, Adenine Cytosine, Guanine and Thymine.
DNA also contains all the genetic coding which is used to control functions, behavior and development of an organism. DNA is also used as a long term storage device to store the genetic instructions. These instructions must be correct so the DNA can make an exact copy of itself.
