DNA is located inside a special area of the cell called the nucleus. Because the cell is very small, and because organisms have many DNA molecules per cell, each DNA molecule must be tightly packaged. This packaged form of the DNA is called a chromosome. DNA spends a lot of time in its chromosome form.
DNA is found in the nucleus of cells (the N of DNA) associated with chromosomes. The genes, segments of DNA, are copied by enzymes to make RNA. RNA is then translated by a very large complex of enzymes into proteins. Some of these proteins are the very enzymes that make RNA and translate the RNA into proteins.
