Mitochondria are smaller than nuclei and contain enzymes required for energy production

The nucleus is the genetic storage organelle, protecting DNA from damage

"All the DNA material in a cell remains in the nucleus" is NOT correct.

Reason: mitochondria (and chloroplasts in plants) contain their own DNA (mtDNA) separate from nuclear DNA, so not all cellular DNA is in the nucleus.
