Let's evaluate each statement:
1. **Bacteria do not have chromosomes** - **False**: Bacteria do have a single, circular chromosome, although it is different from the linear chromosomes found in eukaryotes.
2. **Chromosomes are structures that organize large amounts of DNA** - **True**: Chromosomes are indeed structures that help organize and package DNA within the cell.
3. **Most of the DNA in a eukaryotic cell is found in the nucleus** - **True**: In eukaryotic cells, the majority of the DNA is located in the nucleus.
4. **Chromosomes are only found in cells with a nucleus** - **False**: While eukaryotic cells have chromosomes that are contained within the nucleus, prokaryotic cells (like bacteria) also have chromosomes, though they are not contained within a nucleus.
5. **DNA is found in the nucleus, but also in mitochondria and chloroplasts** - **True**: DNA is indeed found in the nucleus as well as in mitochondria and chloroplasts, which have their own distinct DNA.
Based on this evaluation, the correct statements are:
- Chromosomes are structures that organize large amounts of DNA
- Most of the DNA in a eukaryotic cell is found in the nucleus
- DNA is found in the nucleus, but also in mitochondria and chloroplasts
