Question

question 12 1 pts
which part of the cell controls the cells activities?
○ organelles
○ nucleus
○ cell wall

question 13 1 pts
one purpose of cell division is reproduction. why is reproduction important to an organism?
○ to repair worn out cells
○ to cause cells to grow
○ to create new offspring

Explanation:

• For Question 12: The nucleus contains the cell's genetic material (DNA) which regulates all cellular activities, while organelles perform specific specialized tasks, the cell wall provides structural support only, so the nucleus is the control center.
• For Question 13: Reproduction, as a purpose of cell division, specifically refers to producing new individuals (offspring) for the continuation of the organism's species; repairing cells and growth are other separate functions of cell division, not reproduction's core goal.

Answer:

1. Question 12: B. Nucleus
2. Question 13: C. To create new offspring
