AP BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The nucleus is the most conspicuous organelle found in a eukaryotic cell. It houses the cell’s chromosomes and is the place where almost all DNA replication and RNA synthesis occurs.

Detailed explanation-2: -Most DNA is located in the cell nucleus (where it is called nuclear DNA), but a small amount of DNA can also be found in the mitochondria (where it is called mitochondrial DNA or mtDNA). Mitochondria are structures within cells that convert the energy from food into a form that cells can use.

Detailed explanation-3: -Like animal cells and other eukaryotic cells, plant cells have a nucleus that stores their DNA.

Detailed explanation-4: -The nucleus (plural, nuclei) houses the cell’s genetic material, or DNA, and is also the site of synthesis for ribosomes, the cellular machines that assemble proteins.

Detailed explanation-5: -Nucleus-The control center of the cell that directs all of the cell activities. Genetic material is contained inside. Usually found in center of cell. Nuclear Membrane-The outside boundary of the nucleus that controls what enters and exits the nucleus.
