No. Nucleolus is a separate structure inside the nucleus. DNA is also housed in the nucleus, but not within the nucleolus.

Actually, this is incorrect. The nucleolus is the site for ribosomal RNA synthesis and processing. Thus, there is DNA in the nucleolus, it is the DNA repeats that encode ribosomal RNA.
