Chromosomes are found within the headquarters or prime component of the cell known as the nucleus. It is surrounded by a viscous (thick like) fluid known as the nucleoplasm.
Chromosomes are NOT located within the cells cytoplasm where other cellular organelles normally reside eg. Golgi apparatus, endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria etc.
However, in single celled bacteria there is no nucleus, just the genetic material (the chromosomes) suspended in cytoplasm.
Genetic material is also found in mitochondria and chloroplasts and both these organelles are present in the cytoplasm.

∙ 11y agoyes,but it depends, for example, bacteria lacks a defined nucleus hence, it's genetic matrial(DNA) found in cytoplasm as nucleoid. But all the eukaryotes has defined nucleus which is the store house for the genomic DNA.

∙ 12y agoThe chromosomes are found inside the nucleus. The cytoplasm a jelly like substance found all around the cell, but not in the nucleus. The nucleus contains nucleoplasm, which is similar to the cytoplasm.

∙ 14y agoTechnically DNA is in the cytoplasm (because the nucleus is in the cytoplasm), but specifically it is in the nucleus. It is stored as chromatin.

What cell structure contains the chromosomes?
Depending on what level of biology you're in, either the nucleus or the nucleolus. During mitosis and meiosis, however, the cytoplasm contains the chromosomes.
The part of the cell that contains the living substance of the cell excluding the nucleus is the?
the nucleus contains all the info the cell needs to perform mitosis/meiosis but the nucleus also contains the nucleolus, that is where the chromosomes are found. (we just finished the cell unit in 7th grade science)
DNA is only found in the?
Proteins that are made in the cytoplasm of the cell whereas DNA is found in the nucleus.
What part of a cell contains chromosomes made of DNA?
In a eukaryotic cell, the chromosomes are located inside the nucleus. For a prokaryote, the single, circular chromosome is in the cytoplasm.
Where in a cell is DNA found?
DNA is found in the nucleus of eukaryotes or in the cytoplasm of prokaryotes. The DNA forms complex strands known as chromatin, and when dividing, chromosomes.
Where are chromosomes found in cells?
Chromosomes are found within the nucleus in eukaryotic cells and within the cytoplasm of prokaryotic cells.
Where the cell are the chromosomes located?
the cytoplasm
Where in the cell are the chromosomes located?
The chromosomes are located in the nucleus of the cell.
Where s animal DNA stored?
The DNA in Eukaryotic cells, such as animals is found in the nucleus.
Where are chromosome found in a cell?
Chromosomes are found within the nucleus in eukaryotic cells and within the cytoplasm of prokaryotic cells.
Are chromosomes found in the nucleus?
no, DNA Cytoplasm and Nucleolus are the only things found in the nucleus
Where is the chromosome's located?
In a human cell the chromosomes are found in the nucleus. In bacteria and other prokaryotic cells the chromosomes are found floating freely in the cytoplasm.
Where are chromosomes found?
chromosomes are found in the nucleusIn DNA.Nucleus

Where is the nucleus found in a plant cell?
The nucleus is found in the cytoplasm of a cell.
