Detailed explanation-1: -Genes encode proteins and proteins dictate cell function. Therefore, the thousands of genes expressed in a particular cell determine what that cell can do.

Detailed explanation-2: -The nucleus, formed by a nuclear membrane around a fluid nucleoplasm, is the control center of the cell. Threads of chromatin in the nucleus contain deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), the genetic material of the cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -The nucleus is the control center of the cell that contains the chromosomes with their genetic material, DNA. The nucleus controls all cellular functions.

Detailed explanation-4: -The genetic material, DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), controls the organism or cellular structure and functions by the process of the central dogma. DNA controls growth, transcription, translation, generation and longevity of each new cell that is reproduced in the organism.

Detailed explanation-5: -Nucleus. Known as the cell’s “command center, ” the nucleus is a large organelle that stores the cell’s DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). The nucleus controls all of the cell’s activities, such as growth and metabolism, using the DNA’s genetic information.
