Question

TheEntryPass · Accepted Answer

B Rationale: The genetic information of a eukaryotic cell is stored in the nucleus, which serves as the cell's control center containing the cell's DNA.

Mitochondria are primarily involved in energy production through cellular respiration and do not store genetic material. The Golgi apparatus functions in modifying and packaging proteins, lacking any role in genetic information storage. Cytoplasm contains various organelles and is where metabolic processes occur, but it does not house the genetic material itself. Only the nucleus is specialized and equipped to store the DNA that encodes genetic information in eukaryotic cells.
