Nucleus Nucleolus Cytoplasm The control center of the cell and dictates what all of the other organelles do. Stores the DNA in eukaryotes.Dark spherical body found in the nucleus; makes the ribosomes. A jelly-like material that surrounds the cell organelles.ucleus Nucleolus Cytoplasm The control center of the cell and dictates what all of the other organelles do. Stores the DNA in eukaryotes.
The regular structure and data redundancy provided by the DNA double helix make DNA well suited to the storage of genetic information, while base-pairing between DNA and incoming nucleotides provides the mechanism through which DNA polymerase replicates DNA, and RNA polymerase transcribes DNA into RNA.
Base-pairing holds the double-stranded DNA molecule together. 1  Base-pairing is necessary for DNA synthesis, RNA synthesis, and Protein synthesis to occur. 2  Base-pairing can occur between two strands of DNA, between two strands of RNA, or between one strand of DNA and one strand of RNA.
