Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which organelle stores DNA, and serves as the cell’s control center?
A
Ribosome
B
Vacuole
C
Nucleus
D
Golgi Complex
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Nucleus. Known as the cell’s “command center, ” the nucleus is a large organelle that stores the cell’s DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). The nucleus controls all of the cell’s activities, such as growth and metabolism, using the DNA’s genetic information.

Detailed explanation-2: -Nucleus-The nucleus is the control center of the cell. It is the largest organelle in the cell and it contains the DNA of the cell. DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid) contains all the information for cells to live, perform their functions and reproduce. Inside the nucleus is another organelle called the nucleolus.

Detailed explanation-3: -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.

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -Eukaryotic cells contain a nucleus and various other special compartments surrounded by membranes, called organelles. The nucleus is where the DNA (chromatin) is stored. Organelles give eukaryotic cells more functions than prokaryotic cells.
