    Solution :

                     Both DNA and RNA are present in bacteria and higher organisms. The cells of bacteria, which are prokaryotic in structure do not have membrane bound organelles. Their DNA is located in nucleoid region. Ribosomes are scattered throughout the prokaryotic cytoplasm and 2/3 of the mass of ribosome is made up of RNA. In higher organism, DNA is present in the nucleus, which is the cell controlling centre and RNA is meant for synthesis of protein.
