Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Nuclei contain the genetic material called DNA that is responsible for controlling and directing all cell activities.

Detailed explanation-2: -The nucleus (Figure 6) serves as the cell’s command center, sending directions to the cell to grow, mature, divide, or die. It also houses DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), the cell’ s hereditary material.

Detailed explanation-3: -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. A membrane, a thin layer that allows chemicals to pass in and out to the rest of the cell, surrounds the nucleus.

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: -The nucleus is one of the most obvious parts of the cell when you look at a picture of the cell. It’s in the middle of the cell, and the nucleus contains all of the cell’s chromosomes, which encode the genetic material.
