The function of the nucleus is to maintain the integrity of the DNA and to control the activities of the cell by regulating gene expression.

The main function of the cell nucleus is to control gene expression and mediate the replication of DNA during the cell cycle. The nucleus provides a site for genetic transcription that is segregated from the location of translation in the cytoplasm, allowing levels of gene regulation that are not available to prokaryotes.

A nucleus directs all the activities of the cell. It does this by telling how to make the cell's proteins.
