Question

Which of the following organelle is responsible for differentiation?

• A. Nucleus
• B. Mitochondria
• C. Ribosomes
• D. Centrioles

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

Nucleus

Differentiation is the process where the cell takes up a specialised function and go on to form tissues and organs. This information is stored in the genetic material of the organism and is passed on from the parents to the offspring. The differentiation is controlled by the gene expression.

This genetic material is present as chromatin in the nucleus and the nucleus is also known as the master organelle.

So, the correct option is ' Nucleus'.
