Learn about the cell nucleus, the organelle that contains genetic material and controls the cell’s activities. Find out its structure, functions, history, and evolution. Learn what a nucleus is, how it is structured and what functions it performs in eukaryotic cells. The nucleus contains the genetic material DNA and regulates cell growth, reproduction and protein synthesis. The nucleus is a vital cellular organelle found in most eukaryotic cells. Often called the “control center” of the cell, it houses the genetic material that directs all cellular processes, including growth, metabolism, and reproduction. Understanding the nucleus helps us explore how cells function and how life is regulated at the molecular level. What is the Nucleus? The nucleus is a membrane-bound organelle located at the center of most eukaryotic cells. It contains the cell’s DNA ... They are responsible for carrying and transmitting genetic information from one generation to the next and are essential for the function and survival of cells and organisms. Two types of nucleic acid are found that are DNA and RNA.
