histon (nuclear protein) The DNA strand is wrapped around the histons. There are five classes of these proteins: H1, H2A, H2B, H3, H4 - divided into groups, basing on the amount of arginine and lysine

I'll go with cytoplasm -

Transport
Since the DNA is transcribed into mRNA in the nucleus, and protein synthesis takes place in the cytoplasm, the mRNA has to exit the nucleus to the cytoplasm. The environment in the nucleus differs in many ways from that of the cytoplasm. To separate these two environments from each other the nucleus is enclosed by a double membrane, and the only connection to the surrounding cytoplasm is through channels called the nuclear pore complex (NPC).
When it is time for the mRNA to leave the nucleus, the mRNA is believed to be "tagged" by proteins which serve as export signals, directing the mRNA to the nuclear pore complex that the mRNA is to leave. The mRNA and it's bound export proteins then attaches to export receptors and the whole complex (RNA, export signal proteins and export receptors) is translocated through the nuclear pore complex. The mRNA is released into the cytoplasm and is immediately ready for the next step: translation» - there is much, much more to describe, but ....

DNA consists of a pair of molecules, organized as strands running start-to-end and joined by hydrogen bonds along their lengths.[2] Each strand is a chain of chemical "building blocks", called nucleotides, of which there are four types: adenine (abbreviated A), cytosine (C), guanine (G) and thymine (T).[2] (Thymine should not be confused with thiamine, which is vitamin B1.) The DNA of some organisms, most notably of the PBS1 phage, have Uracil (U) instead of T.[3]

Each strand of DNA is a covalently linked chain of nucleotides, with alternating sugar (deoxyribose)-phosphates forming the "backbone" for the nucleobases ("bases"). The negatively-charged phosphate groups between each deoxyribose make DNA an acid in solution and allow DNA molecules of different sizes to be separated by electrophoresis. Because DNA strands are composed of these nucleotide subunits, they are polymers. The major difference between DNA and RNA is the sugar, 2-deoxyribose in DNA and ribose in RNA.
