    Study Notes

    Nucleus Structure and Function

    • The nucleus is a double membrane-bound organelle that contains the genetic material for inheritance.
    • The nuclear membrane has pores that allow the transfer of materials from the nucleus to the cytoplasm.

    Nucleus as the Cell's Brain

    • The nucleus controls various cell functions, including cell division, reproduction, and inheritance.

    Genetic Material and DNA

    • The nucleus contains chromosomes, which are made up of DNA.
    • DNA carries information for inheritance from parents to offspring.

    Prokaryotes

    • Prokaryotes do not have a well-defined nucleus.
    • The genetic material in prokaryotes is found in a region known as the nucleoid.
