The genetic information is stored in the NUCLEUS!

DNA is found in the nucleus of the cell, which contains chromosomes, genes are found on chromosomes
The nucleus is an important cell part, so if it separates ,it needs to copy information or else the nucleus will become useless.
In a eukaryotic cell most of the genetic information is in the DNA of the chromosomes in the nucleus.There is some DNA in mitochondria and chloroplasts, and this DNA also contains genes. For example, one version of a human mitochondrial gene can cause blindness.In a prokaryotic cell, most of the genetic information is in the single chromosome, which is a naked circular DNA molecule in the cytoplasm. There are also some genes in small rings of DNA called plasmids. Some recombinant DNA techniques (genetic engineering) make use of plasmids for inserting genes into bacteria.
what part of the cell contains genetic material or genes that determine traits
This question doesn't exactly make sense, but I'll try to answer it. The nucleus (or "brain of the cell") contains DNA. DNA is where all genetic makeup is stored. DNA contains chromosomes. Each normal human being has 46 chromosomes. Genetic diseases lie within these chromosomes, pinpointing where they are is the tricky part. A lot genetic diseases have yet to be pinpointed and even when they are pinpointed, finding a cure can be almost impossible without the help of stem cell research.
