You can an electrophoresis gel and then stain the gel using a solution such as coomassie blue to make the bands visible. Alternatively, you can stain a cell containing DNA by using acridine orange. It is necessary to observe these under an electron light microscope.

What makes up a nucleas?

A cell nucleus contains DNA and at least one nucleolus. During interphase, the DNA is in the form of chromatin, in which the individual chromosomes are not visible. While the cell is actively undergoing mitosis, the nuclear membrane disassembles and the DNA is visible as chromosomes and the nucleolus disassembles. Once mitosis is finished, the cell cytoplasm divides, and the nucleus and nucleolus reform, and the two new cells return to interphase, and the DNA is once again in the form of chromatin.
