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
Nucleus
B
Mitochondrion
C
Lysosome
D
Golgi apparatus
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the role of each organelle listed in the problem: the nucleus, mitochondrion, lysosome, and Golgi apparatus.
Recall that the nucleus contains the cell's genetic material (DNA) and is responsible for regulating gene expression, which controls cell activities.
Recognize that mitochondria are primarily involved in energy production through cellular respiration, not gene regulation.
Know that lysosomes function in breaking down waste materials and cellular debris, not in housing genetic material.
Identify the Golgi apparatus as the organelle involved in modifying, sorting, and packaging proteins, not in controlling gene expression.
