Chromosomes as such as found only within the nucleus. The mitochondria of animal and chloroplasts of plants contain their own DNA. This DNA is present in the form of a large loop of plasmid-like structure. This is referred to as the mitochondrial genome or the chloroplast genome, depending on where it is found. However, these genomes do not have tightly packed DNA like that found in chromosomes and are not considered chromosomes.
