An organelle in the cell that holds the cell’s DNA.
A
membrane
B
nucleus
C
ribosome
D
chloroplast
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A nucleus, as related to genomics, is the membrane-enclosed organelle within a cell that contains the chromosomes.

Detailed explanation-2: -The nucleus houses the genetic material of the cell: DNA. DNA is normally found as a loosely contained structure called chromatin within the nucleus, where it is wound up and associated with a variety of histone proteins. When a cell is about to divide, the chromatin coils tightly and condenses to form chromosomes.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a membranous organelle that shares part of its membrane with that of the nucleus. Some portions of the ER, known as the rough ER, are studded with ribosomes and are involved with protein manufacture.
