Chromosomes
DNA containing structures in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells
Cytoplasm
the part of the cell that is outside the nucleus
DNA
deoxyribonucleic acid, the molecule that stores genetic information in living organisms;
a double-stranded molecule consisting of a sugar-phosphate backbone attached to a
series of nitrogenous bases
