In eukaryotic cells, the nucleus is the organelle that contains the cell’s main genetic material (DNA).
Note: mitochondria (and chloroplasts in plants/algae) also contain their own small circular DNA. In prokaryotes (bacteria/archaea) DNA is in the nucleoid region rather than a membrane-bound organelle.
