Multiple Choice
In eukaryotic cell architecture, which organelle is considered the control center of the cell because it houses most of the genetic material and regulates gene expression?
A
Nucleus
B
Golgi apparatus
C
Mitochondrion
D
Lysosome
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the role of each organelle listed in the problem: the nucleus, Golgi apparatus, mitochondrion, and lysosome.
Recall that the nucleus contains most of the cell's genetic material (DNA) and is responsible for regulating gene expression, which controls cell activities.
Recognize that the Golgi apparatus is involved in modifying, sorting, and packaging proteins and lipids, not in housing genetic material.
Know that mitochondria are the powerhouses of the cell, generating ATP through cellular respiration, but do not contain the majority of genetic material.
Identify that lysosomes are involved in digestion and waste removal within the cell, not in gene regulation or housing DNA.
