Name for the collection of DNA in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells
A
Nucleus
B
Brain
C
Nucleolus
D
Cell Membrane
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Chromatin is a complex of DNA and proteins that forms chromosomes within the nucleus of eukaryotic cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -Researchers refer to DNA found in the cell’s nucleus as nuclear DNA. An organism’s complete set of nuclear DNA is called its genome. Besides the DNA located in the nucleus, humans and other complex organisms also have a small amount of DNA in cell structures known as mitochondria.

Detailed explanation-3: -Most DNA is located in the cell nucleus (where it is called nuclear DNA), but a small amount of DNA can also be found in the mitochondria (where it is called mitochondrial DNA or mtDNA).

Detailed explanation-4: -This is accomplished by wrapping the DNA around structural histone proteins, which act as scaffolding for the DNA to be coiled around. The entire structure is called a nucleosome, each of which includes an octamer of histone proteins and 146 to 147 base pairs of DNA.

Detailed explanation-5: -The nucleolus contains DNA, RNA and proteins. It is a ribosome factory. Cells from other species often have multiple nucleoli.
