Location of DNA
In the human cell, DNA can be found in two different parts of the cell. DNA can be found inside the nucleus of every cell, apart from red blood cells. It's tightly wound and spread throughout the 46 chromosomes. One set of 23 chromosomes is inherited from each parent. Inside the chromosomes the DNA exists as genes. A gene is a sequence of DNA, that by and large, though there are exceptions, codes for one protein. There is large volume of so-called 'junk DNA' that apparently serves no purpose, although there are bodies of work that are starting to show otherwise.
Small amounts of DNA can also be found inside the mitochondria, this DNA is distinct from nuclear DNA. For the most part mitochondrial DNA is inherited from the mother in sexually reproducing species.

With few exceptions, all cells in a persons body have the same DNA and genes. As cells divide and grow different genes are expressed, resulting in different cell types. Those cells then produce a variety of proteins specific to the cells they form resulting in most of our chemistry. In general, the same is true for all cell life based life on earth. All cells start as one cell, the egg created from your mothers egg, and a fathers sperm. Each of these contain half of the DNA that makes a person unique. The first fertilized egg cell, divides from concenption to adulthood into about 37 trillion cells, rotating cells, with each cell containing the same exact DNA. As the cells divide, they express different genes, which give many cells unique functions. Cells that do not contain the same DNA for example, are cells like mature red blood cells which contain no DNA, the sperm and the egg that have half of the DNA, and B cells, in which some of the DNA has been rearranged to make antibodies.
