* DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid) is the blueprint of life, containing the genetic instructions for building and maintaining an organism.

* Plant cells have their DNA enclosed within a nucleus, just like animal cells. However, plant cells also have DNA in their chloroplasts (where photosynthesis takes place).

* Animal cells have their DNA solely contained within their nucleus.

So, both plant and animal cells use DNA to store and transmit their genetic information.
