No.

It contains living cells (temporarily), but neither the cells nor the petal fit the definition of an organism: "any complete and entire living thing capable of carrying out all the processes necessary for life."

Technically, the petal as a whole is dead, but the cells within it are more or less still alive for the meantime as they don't die immediately after being plucked. It's like how if you shoot someone in the heart, they're still alive for a moment to a few minutes.

Dose DNA have cells <br><br><br> i need to know for a assingment
kiruha [24]

Answer and Explanation:

Cells are made of DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid).

They provide the genetic instructions for making and forming a cell.

The DNA is found inside the nucleus of the cell.

Because the cell is very small, and because organisms have many DNA molecules per cell, each DNA molecule must be tightly packaged. This packaged form of the DNA is called a chromosome

DNA do NOT have cells, but cells DO have DNA.
