Solution

Nucleus is known as the control center of the cell as it performs the following functions:
  • The nucleus contains the hereditary material of the cell, the DNA.
  • It sends signals to the cells to grow, mature, divide and die.
  • The nucleus is surrounded by the nuclear envelope that separates the DNA from the rest of the cell.
  • The nucleus protects the DNA and is an integral component of a plant’s cell structure.
