A Short answer is: oH, about 27,000 Genes.
The protons and neutrons found in the nucleus are responsible for the majority of the atom mass while the much smaller electrons orbit the nucleus.
nucleolus
DNA can be found in 2 organells in a cell: the Nucleus and the Mitochondria. Chromosomes are NOT an organelle
It literally translates to something like "little nucleus". So at first glance, looking similar to a nucleus(only much smaller and found inside of the nucleus), the name seemed fitting.
No, chromosomes are smaller than cells. Chromosomes are found in the nucleus of cells which codes for the synthesis of proteins.
It is the center of an atom. It contains at least one proton, and usually both protons and neutrons, and is positively charged. Most of the mass of the atom is found in the nucleus, as protons and neutrons are much more massive than the electrons, which are found in the electron cloud outside of the nucleus.
Nucleus of An AtomThe nucleus of an atom is a dense region consisting of protons and neutrons. The nucleus is found in the center of an atom. More than 99% of the atom's mass is found in the nucleus.Nucleus of a CellA cell's nucleus contains much of the genetic material. Most people think of the nucleus as the "brain" of a cell. Inside the nucleus is the nucleolus, which produces ribosomes.
When the center of an atom is found, it will contain the nucleus which is made up of protons and neutrons. The electrons, which have much smaller mass than protons and neutrons, will be found orbiting around the nucleus in specific energy levels or shells.
Boron has 5 neutrons in its nucleus.

True. Mitochondria contain their own DNA - and the chromosomes present in mitochondria are much smaller than those found in the nucleus (they are much more similar to Prokaryotic chromosomes). Mitochondrial DNA is not involved in the central processes of the cell.
