Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
True or False:The nucleus of the cell directs the activities of the cell and stores DNA.
A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

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. Nucleoli are small bodies often seen within the nucleus. The gel-like matrix in which the nuclear components are suspended is the nucleoplasm.

Detailed explanation-2: -Known as the cell’s “command center, ” the nucleus is a large organelle that stores the cell’s DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). The nucleus controls all of the cell’s activities, such as growth and metabolism, using the DNA’s genetic information.

Detailed explanation-3: -Nucleus is the controlling centre of a cell as it contains chromosomes and genes. Chromosomes contain the DNA which by transcription prepare RNA which in turn leads to the formation of proteins by translation. These proteins regulate the various metabolic processes going in the cell.

Detailed explanation-4: -By housing the cell’s genome, the nucleus serves both as the repository of genetic information and as the cell’s control center. DNA replication, transcription, and RNA processing all take place within the nucleus, with only the final stage of gene expression (translation) localized to the cytoplasm.

Detailed explanation-5: -Nuclei contain the genetic material called DNA that is responsible for controlling and directing all cell activities. This is a very important organelle given its vital function.
