Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Genetic material makes up which organelle?
A
Cytoplasm
B
Chromosome
C
Golgi Body
D
Chloroplast
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In the nucleus of each cell, the DNA molecule is packaged into thread-like structures called chromosomes. Each chromosome is made up of DNA tightly coiled many times around proteins called histones that support its structure.

Detailed explanation-2: -Examples of organelles are the nucleus (a structure that contains the cell’s chromosomes and is where RNA is made), mitochondria (structures that make energy for the cell), and lysosomes (sac-like containers filled with enzymes that digest and help recycle molecules in the cell).

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

Detailed explanation-5: -What is DNA made of? DNA is made of chemical building blocks called nucleotides. These building blocks are made of three parts: a phosphate group, a sugar group and one of four types of nitrogen bases. To form a strand of DNA, nucleotides are linked into chains, with the phosphate and sugar groups alternating.
