Multiple Choice
In eukaryotic cell architecture, which organelle is commonly described as the control center of the cell because it houses the genetic material and regulates gene expression?
A
Mitochondrion
B
Golgi apparatus
C
Lysosome
D
Nucleus
Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the organelle responsible for housing the cell's genetic material (DNA).
Recall that the organelle containing DNA controls gene expression and regulates cellular activities.
Understand that mitochondria are primarily involved in energy production, not gene regulation.
Recognize that the Golgi apparatus functions in modifying, sorting, and packaging proteins, not storing genetic material.
Know that lysosomes are involved in digestion and waste removal, not gene regulation; therefore, the nucleus is the organelle described as the control center of the cell.
