Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The nucleus of a cell contains DNA, which is the genetic material of the cell. Therefore, choice C is the best choice. The other choices are incorrect: A is false because the nucleus is surrounded by a double membrane, B is false because the nucleolus is a substructure within the nucleus, and D is false because protein synthesis primarily occurs in the cytoplasm, not in the nucleus.
