Answer
Nucleus

The correct answer is Nucleus — Therefore the organelle storing most genetic information is the nucleus.

Step-by-step solution

  1. Genetic material DNA is enclosed in a double‑membrane organelle.
  2. This organelle is the nucleus, which contains the nucleolus and chromatin.
  3. Other organelles (e.g., chloroplasts, mitochondria) have their own DNA, but the primary storage is the nucleus.
  4. Therefore the organelle storing most genetic information is the nucleus.
Common mistake: Thinking chloroplast stores DNA

Concept tested: Cell organelles
