What is found in the nucleus?
A
Chromosomes
B
DNA
C
Genes
D
All of the options
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The nucleus (plural, nuclei) houses the cell’s genetic material, or DNA, and is also the site of synthesis for ribosomes, the cellular machines that assemble proteins. Inside the nucleus, chromatin (DNA wrapped around proteins, described further below) is stored in a gel-like substance called nucleoplasm.

Detailed explanation-2: -The nucleus is found in the middle of the cells, and it contains DNA arranged in chromosomes. It is surrounded by the nuclear envelope, a double nuclear membrane (outer and inner), which separates the nucleus from the cytoplasm.

Detailed explanation-3: -Nucleus Structure Nucleolus-The nucleolus is a large structure in the nucleus that mainly makes ribosomes and RNA. Nucleoplasm-The nucleoplasm is the liquid that fills the inside of the nucleus. Chromatin-Chromatin are composed of proteins and DNA. They organize into chromosomes prior to the cell dividing.

Detailed explanation-4: -The nucleus is a double-membraned organelle that contains the genetic material and other instructions required for cellular processes. It is exclusively found in eukaryotic cells and is also one of the largest organelles.
