Chromosomes are the structures that house the DNA in the nucleus of a cell. Reportedly night-nine percent of all DNA is housed in the chromosomes. The remaining one percent is housed in the mitochondria, These tiny rod-shaped organelles are the power generators or energy factories inside the cell. They convert oxygen and nutrients into energy that is stored as adenosine triphosphate (ATP). This chemical energy is the "currency" of the cell that powers all its metabolic processes. If the mitochondria stops working properly you are out of energy. Period.
