Genetic material is stored in the nucleus of a cell, called nuclear DNA. The ribosomes are free floating organelles that process genetic information into proteins determined by "codons" and the Endoplasmic Reticulum helps transfer the newly synthesized proteins to their destination. So it is stored in the nucleus but travels along and within many other different structures within a cell

Which component would be most likely candidate for the genetic material?

The most likely candidate for the genetic material is DNA. DNA stores genetic information in the form of a code made up of four nucleotide bases (adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine) that carry instructions for building and maintaining an organism's cells and functions.
