The main functions of the nucleus are storing genetic information, maintaining homeostasis through gene regulation, and controlling cell division and growth. The nucleolus, which is found in the center of the nucleus, is responsible for accurately copying DNA with the help of chromosomes.

# data[].attributes.body
Although the nucleus serves a complex role in the cell its structure is fairly simple. Starting with the outer layer, the nucleus is covered with nuclear pores that allow necessary proteins to go through. In the next layer the nucleus is filled with nucleoplasm and chromatin. These two subabatsces work hand in hand in regulating mechanical stability and the synthesis of DNA. The center hold the nucleolus. This is responsible for accurately replicating DNA with the help of chromosomes.

Changes in the composition or structure of the nucleus can result in the dysfunction of the cell. In humans changes in the nucleus can result in issues such as cancer, muscular dystrophy, premature aging, heart failure, and many other issues to the body.

The nucleus is  clearly the best organelle because of the power it has. It's the control center for the rest of the cell making it the most important part. It not only regulates and processes genetic information it also determines sequencing for amino acids, maintains the cells homeostasis, and controls cell division and cell growth. The nucleus is found in both plant and animal cells the only differnce being its location in the cell!
