Detailed explanation-1: -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.

Detailed explanation-2: -The nucleus is like the remote control center of the cell. It acts as the cell’s brain by telling it what to do, how to grow, and when to reproduce. The nucleus is home to the cell’s genes.

Detailed explanation-3: -The nucleus accumbens is found in an area of the brain called the basal forebrain. There is a nucleus accumbens in each cerebral hemisphere; it is situated between the caudate and putamen. The nucleus accumbens is considered part of the basal ganglia and also is the main component of the ventral striatum.

Detailed explanation-4: -The nucleoplasm: The nucleoplasm is also called the karyoplasm or the nuclear sap. It is a semi-solid, granular substance that contains many proteins. The protein fibers form a crisscross matrix within the nucleus. This helps maintain the shape and structure of the nucleus.
