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.
