No. Nucleolus is a separate structure inside the nucleus. DNA is also housed in the nucleus, but not within the nucleolus.

Actually, this is incorrect. The nucleolus is the site for ribosomal RNA synthesis and processing. Thus, there is DNA in the nucleolus, it is the DNA repeats that encode ribosomal RNA.

What contains DNA and a nucleolus?

No, DNA and the nucleolus are not the same thing. DNA is a nucleic acid which contains the instructions for the processes of the cell. The nucleolus is the area within the nucleus of a cell that is responsible for transcribing and assembling rRNA (ribosomal RNA). rRNA forms part of the ribosomes - which are responsible for protein synthesis.

What is nucleolus chromosomes?

The nucleolus is a substructure within the cell nucleus that plays a key role in ribosome production. It is not the same as chromosomes, which are long strands of DNA that contain genetic information. Chromosomes are found within the cell nucleus, where they can interact with the nucleolus during protein synthesis.
