CELL ORGANELLE

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The ____ holds the DNA, and controls the functions of eukaryotic cells.
A
Nucleus
B
Nuclear Membrane
C
Mitochondria
D
Chloroplast
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The presence of a nucleus is the principal feature that distinguishes eukaryotic from prokaryotic cells. By housing the cell’s genome, the nucleus serves both as the repository of genetic information and as the cell’s control center.

Detailed explanation-2: -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.

Detailed explanation-3: -The nuclear envelope is a membrane similar to the cell membrane around the whole cell. There are pores and spaces for RNA and proteins to pass through while the nuclear envelope keeps all of the chromatin and nucleolus inside.

Detailed explanation-4: -The nucleus, formed by a nuclear membrane around a fluid nucleoplasm, is the control center of the cell. Threads of chromatin in the nucleus contain deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), the genetic material of the cell.

Detailed explanation-5: -Where is DNA found? In organisms called eukaryotes, DNA is found inside a special area of the cell called the nucleus. Because the cell is very small, and because organisms have many DNA molecules per cell, each DNA molecule must be tightly packaged. This packaged form of the DNA is called a chromosome.
