The nucleus has a double membrane, often referred to as the nuclear envelope. This membrane contains small gaps called nuclear pores. However, DNA is far too large to be able to pass through the nuclear pore. This means that, although chromosomes are free to move around in the nucleus, they are always kept inside the nucleus.
