Solution

Nucleus is basically the control center of the cells. They have the genetic material of the cell. It maintains the activities of the cell and also stabilizes the integrity of the genes. They support the cell in a wholesome manner and also regulate the molecular transport. Since the nucleus forms the epicenter of the cell, without them a cell is called as dead cell.
