It sends signals to the cells to grow, mature, divide and die. The nucleus is surrounded by the nuclear envelope that separates the DNA from the rest of the cell.

Detailed explanation-4: -The cell’s entire activity is monitored by the nucleus. It serves as the control room for cell functions as well as the repository for the cell’s DNA. It stores a cell’s genetic information and regulates its growth and proliferation.

Detailed explanation-5: -The nucleus is considered as the control center of the cell as it has all the information for controlling the various components of the cell and keeping the cell alive.
