D. only in the nucleus. DNA or (deoxyribonucleic acid) is what makes you ... YOU! All of your traits (Hair color, Eye color, The shape of your ears, Cancer risk, SKIN COLOR, etc.) But DNA is only housed in the nucleus of the cell, so the nucleus is the only place the transcription of the melanin gene could take place.
