D
DNA folds into stacked layers called chromatin, which then squeeze into the nucleus.
D
DNA is double-stranded, so one strand is inside the nucleus and the other wraps around the nucleus.
D
DNA tightly coils around proteins and condenses into chromosomes, which fit in the nucleus.
D
DNA is naturally much smaller than the cell nucleus so it easily fits inside the nucleus.
