Answer 1

Answer:

C. Control of cell activities and storage of genetic material

• The nucleus serves both as the repository of genetic information and as the cell's control center.

• DNA replication, transcription, and RNA processing all take place within the nucleus, with only the final stage of gene expression (translation) localized to the cytoplasm.
