Best Answer

DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, is bunched up and wound together in order to fit into the nucleolus. It is very thin, so it occupies a small space. It is almost as thin, even thinner, than one strand of hair.

What substance can be found inside the nucleus of a cell?

Inside a cell's nucleus there are many organic molecules. However, the answer is probably DNA. The cell's nucleus contains six feet of it. The other prominent molecule is RNA which originates in the nucleus, but soon retreats to other parts of the cell carrying copies of the genetic code to ribosomes which create new proteins from that information.


Why does DNA clump together in DNA extraction?

Single molecules of DNA are long and stringy. Each cell of your body contains six feet of DNA, but it's only one-millionth of an inch wide. To fit all of this DNA into your cells, it needs to be packed efficiently. To solve this problem, DNA twists tightly and clumps together inside cells. Even when you extract DNA from cells, it still clumps together, though not as much as it would inside the cell.
