The DNA is stored within the nucleus in a eukaryotic organism. The nucleus has two phospholipid bilayers and has poles to allow things like mRNA to go out of the nucleus. The nucleus protects the DNA from potential harm, whereas in prokaryotes the DNA is exposed in the nucleoid region and must rely on other defense mechanisms to protect itself.
