DNA is a genetic material which is mainly present in the nucleus of the cell in eukaryotes. ​
Ribosomes do not contain DNA. Ribosomes are composed of 2 main sub-units – the large subunit joins together the mRNA and the tRNA forming polypeptide chains whereas the smaller RNA subunits reads RNA. Hence, ribosomes contain ribosomal proteins and rRNA.​
