The correct option is C Robert Brown
  • A nucleus is a membrane-bound organelle containing the genetic material in the form of DNA molecule coiled to form the chromosomes.
  • It is also known as the control centre of the cell.
  • Within the nucleus, the DNA molecule gets transcribed into an mRNA template which is translated into a variety of proteins.
  • These translated proteins help in performing all the important functions within the cell.
  • It was discovered by Robert Brown in the year 1831.
  • So, the correct answer is 'Robert Brown'.
