Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Eukaryotic cells store their genetic information(DNA) in ____
A
Chromosomes
B
Centromeres
C
karyotypes
D
Proteins
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -By definition, eucaryotic cells keep their DNA in a separate internal compartment, the nucleus. The DNA is separated from the cytoplasm by the nuclear envelope, which consists of a double layer of membrane.

Detailed explanation-2: -The nucleus is a membrane-enclosed organelle, found in most eukaryotic cells, which stores the genetic material (DNA). The nucleus is surrounded by a double lipid bilayer, the nuclear envelope, which is embedded with nuclear pores.

Detailed explanation-3: -Where is DNA found? In organisms called eukaryotes, DNA is found inside a special area of the cell called the nucleus. Because the cell is very small, and because organisms have many DNA molecules per cell, each DNA molecule must be tightly packaged. This packaged form of the DNA is called a chromosome.

Detailed explanation-4: -Eukaryotic chromosomes are found in the cell’s nucleus. The DNA inside the nucleus is organized into chromosomes. At the most basic level, a chromosome is a molecule of DNA that is tightly coiled around proteins called histones. Eukaryotic cells have multiple chromosomes that are linear in shape.

Detailed explanation-5: -A genome is the complete set of genetic information in an organism. It provides all of the information the organism requires to function. In living organisms, the genome is stored in long molecules of DNA called chromosomes.
