What part of the cell contains the genetic material?
A
Mitochondria
B
Nucleus
C
Ribosomes
D
Cell Membrane
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The nucleus is one of the most obvious parts of the cell when you look at a picture of the cell. It’s in the middle of the cell, and the nucleus contains all of the cell’s chromosomes, which encode the genetic material.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -The nucleus contains genetic (hereditary) material. Genetic material, written in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), provides instructions for the cell. All cells contain the same DNA (the same set of instructions), but cell types are different because of different gene expression.
