What is the purpose of the nucleus?
A
It is the command center, contains DNA, and cell division
B
It protects the cell
C
It stores energy for the cell
D
It gets rid of waste in the cell
Explanation: 

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: -Nucleus. The nucleus serves as the cell’s command center, sending directions to the cell to grow, mature, divide, or die. It also houses DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), the cell’s hereditary material.

Detailed explanation-3: -The nucleus is generally considered the control center of the cell because it stores all of the genetic instructions for manufacturing proteins.

Detailed explanation-4: -The nucleus houses the genetic material of the cell: DNA. DNA is normally found as a loosely contained structure called chromatin within the nucleus, where it is wound up and associated with a variety of histone proteins. When a cell is about to divide, the chromatin coils tightly and condenses to form chromosomes.

Detailed explanation-5: -The nucleus is a membrane-bound structure that acts as the command center of the cell. It houses the cell’s hereditary information in the form of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), controls all cellular activities including growth, metabolism, and reproduction.
