The ____ holds the DNA, and controls the functions of plant and animal cells.
A
Nucleus
B
Nuclear Membrane
C
Nucleolus
D
New Moon
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Nucleus. 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-2: -Nucleus-The nucleus is the control center of the cell. It is the largest organelle in the cell and it contains the DNA of the cell. DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid) contains all the information for cells to live, perform their functions and reproduce. Inside the nucleus is another organelle called the nucleolus.

Detailed explanation-3: -In plant cells, most DNA is located in the nucleus, although chloroplasts and mitochondria also contain part of the genetic material.

Detailed explanation-4: -Plant cells have a cell wall and use organelles called chloroplasts to carry out photosynthesis. Like animal cells and other eukaryotic cells, plant cells have a nucleus that stores their DNA.

Detailed explanation-5: -The nucleus is the most conspicuous organelle found in a eukaryotic cell. It houses the cell’s chromosomes and is the place where almost all DNA replication and RNA synthesis occurs.
