Multiple Choice
In the context of eukaryotic cell architecture, which organelle is commonly described as the cell’s control center because it houses most of the genetic material and regulates gene expression?
A
Lysosome
B
Golgi apparatus
C
Nucleus
D
Mitochondrion
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the role of each organelle listed: Lysosome, Golgi apparatus, Nucleus, and Mitochondrion.
Recall that the organelle responsible for housing most of the cell's genetic material (DNA) is the one that controls gene expression and regulates cellular activities.
Identify that the Nucleus contains the cell's chromosomes, which carry the genetic information necessary for directing protein synthesis and cell function.
Recognize that the Lysosome is involved in digestion and waste removal, the Golgi apparatus modifies and packages proteins, and the Mitochondrion generates energy, so these do not serve as the control center.
Conclude that the Nucleus is commonly described as the cell’s control center because it houses most of the genetic material and regulates gene expression.
