1. The nucleus is for the DNA in us.

2. Structure

3. Function
 Control system of entire cell
 Nuclear pores allow materials to move in and out.
 Nuclear pores also send instructions, messages and blue
prints.
 Contains most of the cells DNA
 Has coded instructions to make proteins.

4. Diseases
 Many types of cancer start in the cell nucleus.
 A mutation happens in the generic material, this makes the
cells replicate to fast, which causes tumors.

5. Interesting facts
 The average diameter or a nucleus is 6 micrometers.
 Antonie Philips van Leeuwenhoek was the first to find the
nucleus but Robert Brown got the actual credit.
