Answer:
The control room of the cell is called nucleus.
The cell nucleus is the most noticeable organelle within the eukaryotic cell, and perhaps the most important and defining feature of the eukaryotic cells. Most of the genetic material (DNA) is contained in the nucleus, while a small amount of it is found in mitochondria. The majority of human cells have a single nucleus, although there are several cell types that have multiple nuclei (e.g. osteoclasts) or don't have a nucleus at all (erythrocytes).
The nucleus is normally around 5-10 μm in diameter in many multicellular organisms, and the largest organelle in the cell. The smallest nuclei are approximately 1 μm in diameter and are found in yeast cells.
Mostly the shape of the nucleus is spherical or oblong. Usually cells have one nucleus but many at times there are multinucleated cells.
The nucleus has very important roles to play. As it contains genetic material, it coordinates cell activities like protein synthesis and cell division. Anatomically the nucleus is made up of several components: nuclear envelope, nuclear lamina, nucleolus, chromosomes, nucleoplasm are some of these components.
All of these components work together in order for the nucleus to accomplish all of its functions.
Namely, these functions are:
- control of the genetical information of the cell and thus the heredity characteristics of an organism,
- control of the protein and enzyme synthesis
- control of cell division and cell growth
- storage of DNA, RNA and ribosome
- regulation of the transcription of the mRNA to protein
- production of ribosomes
