This is a very interesting question that properly deserves a very scientific answer but I guess you want the simplified version. Basically, the way a strand or strands of DNA can fit inside nuclei has to do with something called "chromosome condensation". In non-scientific speak this means that the DNA is squashed together to make a much smaller and tighter package. As you have rightly guessed, nuclei of cells aren't particularly big, and it's even more amazing that not withstanding its size, DNA does actually get transferred between the inside and outside of the nucleus otherwise cell replication simply couldn't occur. Transit (movement) from the inside to the outside of the nucleus is facilitated through nuclear pores. Free DNA is comparatively very bulky and is at great risk of chemical attack from substances called enzymes. Since DNA contains the "blueprint" for the synthesis of all cellular components, it's therefore critical that these molecules are not damaged otherwise the messages and information that they carry could be disrupted. After cells divide, the DNA is therefore condensed (made smaller) into structures called chromosomes. These consist of the DNA strands and a substance called chromatin, the major component of which are proteins called histones. The chromatin assists with the process of folding up the free DNA into a smaller package.
DNA is stored in the nucleus and it controls everything a cell does.
DNA is in nucleus. Also found some in mitochondria and chloroplasts.
DNA in eukaryotes is mostly found inside the nucleus. However there is a small amount of DNA contained in the mitochondria.
Genetic information is stored in the DNA of a cell. The DNA of a cell can be found in the nucleus.
DNA (a.k.a. Deoxyribonucleic acid) The strand itself is called chromatin. It is made up of DNA.
cromosomes
Transcription
DNA is tightly wrapped into chromosomes, and stored within the nucleus of each cell
what is the meaning of chromosomes
In a eukaryotic cell the genetic material, DNA, is stored int he nucleus.
DNA is stored in the nucleus and it controls everything a cell does.
DNA is in nucleus. Also found some in mitochondria and chloroplasts.
The Nucleus and mitochondria in eucaryotes
there is no DNA in the cell nucleus however the cell nucleus is important to replicating a cell in DNA strand. (it supprots the chromatin that replicates the DNA)
the nucleus
It is literally packed into the entire area bound by the nuclear membrane.
