Which component of the cell contains the hereditary material of the cell, the DNA?

Nucleus 

- Nucleus, known as the cell's 'command center" is a large organelle that stores the cell's DNA.

- The nucleus controls all of the cell's activities, such as growth and metabolism, using DNA's genetic information.

- Deoxyribonucleic acid(DNA) is a polymer composed of two polynucleotide chains that coil around each other to form a double helix. The polymer carries genetic instructions for the development, functioning, growth and reproduction of all known organisms.
