In which organelle, of a eukaryotic cell, is the cell’s DNA located?
A
Mitochondria
B
Golgi Body
C
Nucleus
D
Cytoplasm
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The nucleus is the most conspicuous organelle found in a eukaryotic cell. It houses the cell’s chromosomes and is the place where almost all DNA replication and RNA synthesis occurs.

Detailed explanation-2: -In eukaryotes, the cell’s genetic material, or DNA, is contained within an organelle called the nucleus, where it is organized in long molecules called chromosomes.

Detailed explanation-3: -Answer and Explanation: Two organelles that contain DNA are mitochondria and chloroplasts.

Detailed explanation-4: -In eukaryotic cells, the DNA is contained inside the cell’s nucleus and there it is transcribed into RNA. The newly synthesized RNA is then transported out of the nucleus into the cytoplasm, where ribosomes translate the RNA into protein.

Detailed explanation-5: -In eukaryotic cells, genomic DNA is compactly stored in the nucleus by wrapping DNA around histone cores. The nuclear envelope (NE), composed of a double lipid bilayer and a structure called the nuclear lamina, encloses chromatin via the interaction between the nuclear lamina and chromatin.
