In eukaryotes (animals, plants, fungi, algae) chromosomes are found in the nucleus.

There is also DNA in mitochondria and chloroplasts, which is usually referred to by terms like "mitochondrial DNA" or "the chloroplast genome". The word "chromosome" is not generally used for this DNA.

Prokaryotes (bacteria) have a single chromosome in a region of the cell called the nucleoid. Scientists do not use the term "nucleus" for prokaryotes, as there are no membranes inside the cell, and therefore no nuclear membrane. So, no nucleus!
