genetic information from the male part of the plant, and the egg cell, which carries
genetic information from the female part of the plant, join to make a unique
individual plant. The pollen and the egg are specialised cells.

12. It is semi-permeable, allowing substances to enter and leave the nucleus of the
cell. It also provides protection to the nucleus of the cell.
Answer: Nuclear Membrane
The nuclear membrane is the covering of the nucleus of the cell, and has numerous
pores. It allows substances to enter and leave.
13. It synthesizes proteins by producing and storing RNA (Ribonucleic acid). At the
same time, it orders ribosomes to synthesize proteins.
Answer: Nucleolus
The nucleolus is contained in the nucleus of the cell, and is round in shape. It
synthesizes proteins by producing and storing RNA (Ribonucleic acid).
14. It contains chromatin fibres, which are made up of DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid).
After cell division takes place, these chromatin fibres undergo certain structural
changes, and are called chromosomes. These chromosomes carry the hereditary
information of the genes.
Answer: Nucleoplasm
The nucleoplasm is a dense fluid containing chromatin fibres, which are made up of
DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid). After cell division takes place, these chromatin fibres
undergo certain structural changes, and are called chromosomes. These
chromosomes carry the hereditary information of the genes.
15. It controls and coordinates all the activities and functions of the cell. It plays a
vital role in cell division.
Answer: Nucleus
The nucleus is the most important part of the cell, and contains large amounts of
DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid). It controls and coordinates all the activities and
functions of the cell.
16. It is known as the 'site of protein synthesis in the cell', and synthesizes proteins.
It is chiefly composed of RNA (Ribonucleic acid).
Answer: Ribosome
The ribosome is chiefly composed of RNA (Ribonucleic acid). It synthesizes proteins.
17. It helps in the storage of water and several other substances, namely food,
waste products and pigments. It also provides turgidity to the cell.
Answer: Vacuole
The vacuole of the plant cell is a very large and abundant vesicle. It is filled with
fluids, and helps in the storage of water and other substances.
