PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The nucleus contains genetic information (DNA) on special strands called chromosomes. Function-The nucleus is the “control center” of the cell, for cell metabolism and reproduction.

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.

Detailed explanation-3: -Most DNA is located in the cell nucleus (where it is called nuclear DNA), but a small amount of DNA can also be found in the mitochondria (where it is called mitochondrial DNA or mtDNA). Mitochondria are structures within cells that convert the energy from food into a form that cells can use.

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -DNA is primarily located within the nucleus of each cell, where it is contained in structures known as chromosomes.
