Recall that eukaryotic cells have multiple organelles, each with specific functions and contents.
Understand that DNA is the genetic material that stores the instructions for cell function and replication.
Identify which organelle is primarily responsible for housing the cell's DNA by considering their roles: the nucleus, lysosome, ribosome, and Golgi apparatus.
Know that the nucleus is the organelle that contains the majority of the cell's DNA, organized into chromosomes.
Recognize that lysosomes are involved in digestion, ribosomes in protein synthesis, and the Golgi apparatus in modifying and packaging proteins, none of which store DNA.
