Answer:

The DNA in a eukaryotic cell is in the nucleus

Step-by-step explanation:

Distinct chromosomes composed of DNA are in the nucleus. In this organelle the DNA is folded and compact. It is separated from the cytoplasm by a nuclear membrane. Many important activities happen in the nucleus: packaging and unpackaging and gene expression. The nucleus is very important because keeps DNA away from potentially damaging reaction in the cytoplasm.
