Detailed explanation-4: -A nucleus, as related to genomics, is the membrane-enclosed organelle within a cell that contains the chromosomes.

Detailed explanation-5: -The nucleus controls and regulates the activities of the cell (e.g., growth and metabolism) and carries the genes, structures that contain the hereditary information.
