The nucleus is where DNA which codes for proteins is stored. The DNA is transcribed to make mRNA in the nucleus. The mRNA then leaves the nucleus where it is translated on the ribosomes into a series of amino acids which make up a protein.

So the role of the nucleus is to tell the cell which proteins to make.

Which organelle is involved in the modification and transport of protein?

The Golgi apparatus is the organelle involved in the modification and transport of proteins. It receives proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum, modifies them, and then packages them into vesicles for transport to their final destination within or outside the cell.

What organelle can be described as the blueprint to the creation of a protein?

The cell nucleus contains the "blueprints" for the production of protein. The "blueprints" are the DNA contained within the nucleus. DNA is often called the blueprint of life.


What do eukaryotes cell have that prokaryotic cell do not?

Basically, a membrane bound nucleus containing the genetic material and membrane bound organelles that preform many metabolic processes in the cell, from " digestion " in the lysosome, protein modification in the endoplasmic reticulum, further modification of proteins and also shipping, extra and intracellular, of said proteins by the Golgi apparatus and energy production in the mitochondria.


What does the nucleolus in a cell organelle do?

The nucleolus is responsible for producing ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and assembling ribosomes, which are essential for protein synthesis in the cell. It is found inside the nucleus and plays a crucial role in protein production.


What are the four organelles in eukaryotes?

Well, there are a few more than four but four important ones are; the nucleus, which houses the genetic material, the endoplasmic reticulum ( smooth and rough ), which is tasked with protein modification and lipid synthesis, the Golgi body, tasked with protein modification and shipping of said proteins and the mitochondria, which synthesizes ATP.

What controls protein production in the nucleus?

Protein production in the nucleus is controlled by several factors. The key regulators are transcription factors, which bind to specific DNA sequences and either activate or repress gene expression. Additionally, epigenetic modifications, such as DNA methylation and histone modifications, can regulate protein production by influencing the accessibility of DNA to transcription factors and RNA polymerase. RNA processing, including splicing and RNA editing, also plays a role in controlling the production of mature mRNA molecules, which serve as templates for protein synthesis.

How is nucleus involved in protein synthesis?

The nucleus produces the sequence of amino acids that form a protein. The DNA in the nucleus undergoes some processes like translation and transcription through which the sequence is formed and finally create the proteins.
