Here's why:
* Genetic material (DNA) is essential for life. It contains the instructions for building and maintaining an organism.
* All living organisms, including plants and animals, need DNA to function.
The location of the genetic material differs slightly:
* Plant cells: The genetic material is found within the nucleus, as well as in the chloroplasts (for photosynthesis) and mitochondria (for energy production).
* Animal cells: The genetic material is mainly found within the nucleus, with some small amounts in mitochondria.
So, the answer is both!
