Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -The majority of the cell’s DNA is present in the nucleus of the eukaryotic cell and it is called nuclear DNA. A small amount of DNA is also present in the mitochondria.
