    The nucleus is the largest organelle in the cell and acts as its brain by controlling all cell activity and movement. It is surrounded by a nuclear membrane and usually located in the center of the cell. Within the nucleus is chromatin containing DNA and proteins, as well as the nucleolus which helps produce ribosomes for protein synthesis. The nucleus contains the genetic instructions that are passed from one cell to the next during cell division.

    The Cell Nucleus

    Pedro Marroquin, Gabriel Reyna Group.108 10/16/2009


    Introduction

    Let’s think of the nucleus as the brain of the cell. It direct all activity
    in the cell for example it controls movement, reproduction, etc and is the
    largest organelle in the cell. The nucleus is mostly in the center of the
    cell but it can be somewhere in the middle of all of the cytoplasm.

    The nucleus is
    surroundedby a nuclear
    membrane for protection
    of the other parts of
    the cell
    Nucleolus

    The Nucleus also have a Nucleolus, which is a secondary organelle. Which


    administrate subunits that combine to form ribosomes. This organelle can
    change its size according to ribosomal requirements. So if a cell that
    produce large amounts of protein, call for significant numbers of ribosomes,
    and this demand the nucleoli to have a bigger size.
    Chromatin

    The nucleus also contain chromatin which is a


    tiny granular material that contains like
    long lines or “strands” that carry DNA and
    proteins.

    Now since not all cells have


    nucleus, Biology have divided the
    cells in eukaryotic, which are the
    ones with nucleus, and prokaryotic,
    which do not have a nucleus.

    The difference is that in prokaryotic cells the DNA is floating in an area


    called: nucleoid, and in eukaryotic the DNA is in the chromatin inside the
    nucleus.
    When a cell divides, the chromatin condenses to form chromosomes, which
    are an organize structure of DNA and protein, this information is move
    “from one generation of cells to the next”.

    So if you take the nucleus out of one cell


    and put it into a different cell, the new cell
    will follow the instructions of the new DNA
    inserted and become exactly like the old cell,
    this is how the scientist clone.
