DNA is coiled into proteins,,,,which makes up ur DNA (about 6,400,000,000 basepairs (DNA building blocks) that make up your DNA) basically...and...The way DNA is packaged into chromatin is a factor in how protein production is controlled. so in your nucleus....AGAIN....DNA IS KEPT OR COILED AROUND PROTEIN YET KEPT IN UR NUCLEUS... :)
... i hope this helps somewhat..
chromosome is made up of DNA tightly coiled many times around proteins called histones. protein is kept inside your nucleus
