Genes can be found in the DNA or nucleus. Hope that helps;)

Genes are simply short regions of DNA which code for either a protein or RNA molecule. In eukaryotes, genes are mostly found in the nucleus of the cell, but some (13 in humans) are also located in the cell's mitochondria, in mitochondrial DNA.
