Explanation by: Ruchi Sharma
Mitochondria.In eukaryotic (with nucleus) cells, the vast majority of DNA is found in the nucleus as discrete bodies called chromosomes. In human cells, more than 99% of the total DNA is nuclear genomic DNA & the remainder mitochondrial. The exception to this being the small amount of DNA found in organdies outside the nucleus (mitochondria & chloroplasts).
