No, DNA and the nucleolus are not the same thing.
DNA is a nucleic acid which contains the instructions for the processes of the cell. The nucleolus is the area within the nucleus of a cell that is responsible for transcribing and assembling rRNA (ribosomal RNA). rRNA forms part of the ribosomes - which are responsible for protein synthesis.

∙ 7y agoThe nucleolus mainly contains proteins and nucleic acids. This is a non-membrane bound structure which is also known as nucleole.
It contains several things. Some are RNA and proteins.

∙ 9y agoYes, the nucleolus of a cell does contain DNA. It also contains RNA and is the site of ribosomal RNA production.

What does the nucleolus store?
The nucleus of a cell contains the nucleolus.
What does the nucleolus in a plant cell do?
The nucleolus is part of the nucleus and contains the DNA responsible for coding for ribosomes.
What cell contains DNA and is the control center of the cell?
The nucleus, and the nucleolus. thanks, Steph :)
What part of the cell contains DNA that carries genetic information?
The nucleus (or nucleolus depending on the type of cell)
Where is the DNA of a cell found?
Its inside the nucleus and near the nucleolus.
What does the nucleolus store?
The nucleus of a cell contains the nucleolus.
Why are nucleus and nucleolus?
that's only in a cell the nucleolus contains DNA
What holds DNA?
The nucleus and nucleolus of every cell contains and protects the DNA
What is a cell nucleolus?
A cell nucleolus is the part in the middle of the cell which contains data and DNA from that cell
What does nucleus contain?
Nucleus contains Nucleolus, Genetic Material, and DNA
What is the definition of nucleolus?
Largest organelle in the nucleus; contains DNA, RNA, and proteins.
what controls the center of the cell contains most of the DNA?
The nucleus, and the nucleolus. thanks, Steph :)
Is a nucleolus in both a plant and animal cell?
yes. the mucleolus contains the animal/plants DNA.
What does the nucleolus in a plant cell do?
The nucleolus is part of the nucleus and contains the DNA responsible for coding for ribosomes.
What cell contains DNA and is the control center of the cell?
The nucleus, and the nucleolus. thanks, Steph :)
What part of the cell contains DNA that carries genetic information?
The nucleus (or nucleolus depending on the type of cell)
Is the nucleolus and the DNA the same thing?
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.
