NEET BIOLOGY

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: -The nucleus is like the remote control center of the cell. It acts as the cell’s brain by telling it what to do, how to grow, and when to reproduce. The nucleus is home to the cell’s genes.

Detailed explanation-3: -Nucleus is known as the control center of the cell as it performs the following functions: The nucleus contains the hereditary material of the cell, the DNA. It sends signals to the cells to grow, mature, divide and die. The nucleus is surrounded by the nuclear envelope that separates the DNA from the rest of the cell.

Detailed explanation-4: -The function of the nucleus is to maintain the integrity of these genes and to control the activities of the cell by regulating gene expression-the nucleus is, therefore, the control room of the cell.

Detailed explanation-5: -Inside the nucleus, chromatin (DNA wrapped around proteins, described further below) is stored in a gel-like substance called nucleoplasm. Enclosing the nucleoplasm is the nuclear envelope, which is made up of two layers of membrane: an outer membrane and an inner membrane.
