The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Locations of DNA in Cells:** - DNA is primarily found in three main organelles: the nucleus, mitochondria, and chloroplasts. - The nucleus contains double-stranded DNA, which is linear in structure. - Mitochondria and chloroplasts contain circular double-stranded DNA. 2. **Understand the Role of Each Organelle:** - The **nucleus** is the control center of the cell and houses the genetic material (DNA). - **Mitochondria** are known as the powerhouses of the cell and also contain their own DNA, which is involved in energy production. - **Chloroplasts** are found in plant cells and are responsible for photosynthesis; they too have their own DNA. 3. **Identify Organelles Without DNA:** - Other cellular structures, such as **ribosomes**, do not contain DNA. Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis but do not have any genetic material. 4. **Conclusion:** - Therefore, the answer to the question "DNA does not occur in" is **ribosomes**.
