Recall the basic organization of a eukaryotic cell, which includes various membrane-bound organelles such as the nucleus, mitochondria, lysosomes, and others.
Understand that DNA is the molecule that carries genetic information necessary for cell function and replication.
Identify the primary location of DNA in a typical eukaryotic cell, which is the nucleus, a membrane-bound organelle that houses most of the cell's genetic material.
Recognize that lysosomes are involved in digestion and recycling of cellular components, not in storing DNA.
Note that DNA is not embedded in the plasma membrane nor free in the cytosol; these locations do not contain the majority of the cell's DNA.
