The nucleus is the "control center" of the cell. It tells the cell how to function and chromosome development. Chromosomes contain the genetic or hereditary instructions. Chromosomes are both composed of nucleic acids and protein. The nucleic acid in protein is called deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). DNA is stored in the Nucleus. It is not allowed to leave, for it to be used it must be copied. Short single stranded copies of one of the two DNA strands in the nucleus are made from ribonucleic acid (RNA). these copies represent detailed messages that can be transported out of the nucleus. (as mRNA)
