Where are all genetic traits, chromosomes, DNA, located in the cell?
A
Nuclei/Nucleus
B
Mitochondria
C
Cholorplast
D
Ribosomes
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: -Genes are contained in chromosomes, which are in the cell nucleus. A chromosome contains hundreds to thousands of genes. Every normal human cell contains 23 pairs of chromosomes, for a total of 46 chromosomes. A trait is any gene-determined characteristic and is often determined by more than one gene.

Detailed explanation-3: -Most DNA is found inside the nucleus of a cell, where it forms the chromosomes. Chromosomes have proteins called histones that bind to DNA. DNA has two strands that twist into the shape of a spiral ladder called a helix.

Detailed explanation-4: -Chromosomes are present in the nucleus, not nucleolus. The nucleus is surrounded by nucleus membrane, s not cell membrane.

Detailed explanation-5: -Chromosomes are structures found in the center (nucleus) of cells that carry long pieces of DNA. DNA is the material that holds genes.
