DNA can be found inside the nucleus of every cell, except for red blood cells. Small amounts of DNA can also be found in mitochondria.

You will find DNA inside the cell nucleus, where it is organized into chromosomes. Additionally, DNA can also be found in the mitochondria of the cell.
Chromosomes are found in the nucleus of a cell. They consist of DNA tightly coiled around histone proteins.

A cell's DNA is typically found in the nucleus of the cell, organized into structures called chromosomes. Some cells, like red blood cells, may not have a nucleus, in which case the DNA is found in the cell's cytoplasm.
If DNA replication did not occur before cell division, each daughter cell would end up with only half the amount of DNA as the parent cell. This would result in a genetic imbalance that could lead to cell death or severe mutations, disrupting normal cellular functions and possibly causing diseases like cancer.
