It belongs to a class of molecules called the nucleic acids, which are polynucleotides-that is, long chains of nucleotides. Each nucleotide consists of three components:
DNA Basics. The nucleus is a membrane bound organelle that contains the genetic information in the form of chromatin, highly folded ribbon-like complexes of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and a class of proteins called histones.uring interphase (between divisions), chromatin is more extended, a form used for expression genetic information. The DNA of chromatin is wrapped around a complex of histones making what can appear in the electron microscope as beads on a string or nucleosomes.
