Deoxyribose Nucleic Acid (DNA) as the name indicates is found in the nucleus of the cell. During mitosis or cell division, the chromatin organizes into distinct bodies called chromosomes which are made up primarily of DNA.

In eukaryotes, most DNA is located within the nucleus and is termed nuclear DNA. It was this fact that actually inspired the name "nucleic acid" back when the molecule was first discovered and the only thing people knew about DNA was that it was an acidic molecule that could be found in the nucleus.

In eukaryotes, DNA can also be found within mitochondria and chloroplasts. It is currently thought that mitochondria and chloroplasts were initially free-living prokaryotic cells with their own circular DNA chromosomes. Over time these prokaryotes became permanently integrated into eukaryotic cells but they still retain a relatively small amount of functional DNA as a relic of this ancient assimilation.
