Verified step by step guidance

Understand the role of the nucleus in a neuron: The nucleus is an organelle found in the cell body of a neuron, and it is responsible for storing the cell's genetic material (DNA).

Identify the primary functions of the nucleus: The nucleus controls the cell's activities by regulating gene expression and mediating the replication of DNA during the cell cycle.

Evaluate the options given in the problem: Consider each option and determine if it aligns with the known functions of the nucleus.

Option 1 - Maintaining the resting membrane potential: This is primarily a function of the cell membrane and ion channels, not the nucleus.

Option 2 - Storing genetic information: This is a key function of the nucleus, as it houses the DNA that contains the genetic blueprint of the organism.
