This is made of DNA and is the storage area for all genetic information
A
chromosome
B
chloroplast
C
chromoplast
D
nucleus
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The nucleus is a membrane-enclosed organelle, found in most eukaryotic cells, which stores the genetic material (DNA).

Detailed explanation-2: -In living organisms, the genome is stored in long molecules of DNA called chromosomes. Small sections of DNA, called genes, code for the RNA and protein molecules required by the organism. In eukaryotes, each cell’s genome is contained within a membrane-bound structure called the nucleus.

Detailed explanation-3: -Genetic information is carried in the linear sequence of nucleotides in DNA. Each molecule of DNA is a double helix formed from two complementary strands of nucleotides held together by hydrogen bonds between G-C and A-T base pairs.

Detailed explanation-4: -Deoxyribonucleic acid (abbreviated DNA) is the molecule that carries genetic information for the development and functioning of an organism. DNA is made of two linked strands that wind around each other to resemble a twisted ladder-a shape known as a double helix.

Detailed explanation-5: -DNA is an attractive material for data storage – it is stable, writable, readable, and information dense. In theory, the entire world’s data could be stored in a coffee mug-sized portion of DNA.
