What does the neuron’s nucleus do?
A
Controls the actions of the neuron
B
Produces food for the neuron
C
Carries information from the cell body to other neuronsThis is a wrong answer
D
Controls speed of electrical signal through the axon
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Nucleolus is in the center of the nuclei of all neurons. It is a prominent, deeply stained spherical inclusion about one-third the size of the nucleus. The nucleolus synthesizes ribosomal RNA, which has a major role in protein synthesis. Nucleus of the neuron is large and round and is usually centrally located.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Nucleus of a neuron is an oval shaped membrane-bound structure found in the soma or body of the neuron. It contains the nucleolus and chromosomes, necessary for the coded production of proteins within the cell. The nucleolus of the nucleus produces ribosomes.

Detailed explanation-3: -Motor neurons of the spinal cord are part of the central nervous system (CNS) and connect to muscles, glands and organs throughout the body. These neurons transmit impulses from the spinal cord to skeletal and smooth muscles (such as those in your stomach), and so directly control all of our muscle movements.

Detailed explanation-4: -Axon – The long, thin structure in which action potentials are generated; the transmitting part of the neuron. After initiation, action potentials travel down axons to cause release of neurotransmitter.
