Eukaryotic cells store their genetic material (DNA) in chromosomes in the nucleus.

In addition there is some DNA in each mitochondrion and chloroplast.

Prokaryotic cells store their genetic information in a single chromosome in the cytoplasm, and in a number of small rings of DNA called plasmids, also in the cytoplasm.

Why are telomeres a necessary component of linear chromosomes?

Telomeres are necessary components of linear chromosomes because they protect the ends of the chromosomes from deteriorating or fusing with other chromosomes. They also help maintain the stability and integrity of the genetic information stored in the chromosomes during cell division.

No, hereditary information is stored in chromosomes within the cell's nucleus. Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis, not storage of genetic information. Each chromosome contains many genes that provide instructions for making specific proteins.
