The nucleus is the largest cell organelle forming 25% of the cell volume. It is a membrane-bound structure that contains the cell's genes and controls the growth and reproduction of the cell. It present in all the cells except RBC's and sieve cells of xylem. In prokaryotes, the nucleus is not covered by the well-defined membrane and is called Prokaryon or genophore or nucleoid. The shape of the nucleus varies like oval, disc-shaped, lobular, irregular, etc. Normally cells contain one nucleus but their number varies in different cells. So take this quiz and check your knowledge about the director of the cell " nucleus".
