Nucleus of a Plant Cell

Nucleus of a Plant Cell

Shown here is a diagram of a cell with its round nucleus containing chromatin and a nucleolus (little nucleus). The chromatin is the genetic material DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) which controls all that goes on in the cell and encodes a complete set of information for making the plant. When the cell divides the DNA forms an exact copy of itself so the daughter cells each carry on a complete set of genes. [CH] {EB}
