Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -The primary functions of the nucleus are to store the cell’s DNA, maintain its integrity, and facilitate its transcription and replication.
Detailed explanation-3: -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).
Detailed explanation-4: -The most important function of the nucleus is to store the cell’s genetic information in the form of DNA. DNA holds the instructions for how the cell should work. DNA stands for deoxyribonucleic acid. The molecules of DNA are organized into special structures called chromosomes.
Detailed explanation-5: -In the 1960s, it was settled that the nucleolus houses both DNA and RNA, the latter of which being transcribed there (Fakan and Bernhard 1971; Granboulan and Granboulan 1964, 1965).
