Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The structures of cell visible in a microscope containing hereditary information should be determined.

Concept Introduction:

The nucleus may belong to eukaryote may results in transfer of characters to progeny. The nucleus is a dark colored membrane bound organelle found at the centre of the cell. The membrane enclosing the nucleus is known as nuclear membrane. The nucleus contains the genetic material or DNA which is responsible for transfer of gene to progeny.

Answer to Problem 25.2P

Nucleus located at the center of the cell contains hereditary information.

Explanation of Solution

Nucleus of a cell contains DNA which carries hereditary information and helps in transfer of gene of interest from parents to progeny. It is bounded with membrane known as nuclear membrane which gets continue with rough endoplasmic reticulum which is responsible for the translation of RNA to protein.

Nucleus located at the center of the cell and consists of membrane which resists the transportation of most of the material but allows the transmission of cytoplasm through nuclear pores.

Conclusion

Thus, the nucleus located at the center of the cell contains hereditary information.
