What is the structure in the middle of the cell called?
The nucleus is usually in the center of the cell, and inside it is the nucleolus. The nucleus is considered as the brain of the cell as it controls and co-ordinates all the processes within the cell. The nucleolus contains the genetic material namely DNA and RNA.
These are organisms where the genetic material is not bound by a nucleus They are usually unicellular?
These organisms are called prokaryotes. They include bacteria and archaea. Prokaryotes lack a membrane-bound nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles, and their genetic material floats freely in the cytoplasm. They are typically unicellular but can also form colonies or filaments.
Where in nucleic acids is genetic information stored?
Genetic Information are stored in chromosomes [ usually in nucleus ] :)
Do amoeba reproduce asexually or sexually?
The amoeba usually reproduces asexually by a process called binary fission (splitting in two), in which the cytoplasm simply pinches in half and pulls apart to form two identical organisms (daughter cells). This occurs after the parent amoeba's genetic (hereditary) material, contained in the nucleus, is replicated and the nucleus divides (a process known as mitosis). Thus, the hereditary material is identical in the two daughter cells. If an amoeba is cut in two, the half that contains the nucleus can survive and form new cytoplasm. The half without a nucleus soon dies. This demonstrates the importance of the nucleus in reproduction. Balaji.J_M.Sc Microbiology gay
What do eukaryote cells usually contain?
contains a cell membrane, cytoplasm, and a nucleus
How is genetic info held in the nucleus and and what in important about the amount in the sperm cell?
The sperm cell usually contains half the number of the genetic material.

Where is locate the nucleus?
The nucleus is located at the core of the cell, or atom. In biological terms, the nucleus holds the genetic material. In Physics terms, the nucleus is the core that contains almost all the mass, as well as protons and neutrons.
What does the nucleus contain?
The nucleus is the centre of an atom and contains protons and neutrons. The number of protons will always be the same for a specific element but the number of neutrons can vary, resulting in isotopes of the element of which only 1 is usually stable.
What is all the DNA in one cell of an organisms?
DNA is found (usually) in each cell of an organism in the nucleus or in an area called a nucleoid.
What is the genetic material in eukaryotes?
The nucleus holds the cells genetic material in eukaryotes. The genome of eukaryotes is sequestered to a membrane bound organelle called the nucleus. The nucleus is the site of replication and transcription.

What is the nucleus to a cell?
The nucleus is a part of the cell containing DNA and RNA and responsible for growth and reproduction. It is sometimes called the control centre of the cell, regulating the activities and actions of the cell. It is responsible for cell maintenance and replication of genetic material.
Largest cell organelle?
Usually the nucleus which directs cell activities, contains instructions for cell functions. These instructions are found on hereditary material called DNA.
What is the deoxyribonucleic acid or the genetic material usually called?
Chromosomal Dna.
