Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that in eukaryotic cells, DNA is organized and packaged into structures called chromosomes.
Recall that chromosomes are located within a specific membrane-bound organelle that houses the cell's genetic material.
Identify the organelle responsible for containing and protecting the DNA, which is the nucleus.
Recognize that other options like cytosol, Golgi apparatus, and ribosome have different functions unrelated to housing chromosomes.
Conclude that the DNA coiled into chromosomes is found inside the nucleus of eukaryotic cells.
