Nucleus

The control centre of the cell. Stores DNA genetic instructions and coordinates growth, metabolism, and reproduction.

Did You Know? (WAEC / BECE Exam Note)

Found in both plant and animal cells! Contains chromosomes passed from parents to offspring.

Key Examination Differences:

• Plant: Has cell wall, chloroplasts, large central vacuole, fixed shape.

• Animal: No cell wall, no chloroplasts, small temporary vacuoles, irregular shape.

Select a common usage or concord trap from the NERDC WAEC/BECE syllabus to inspect and rectify:

Common Error / Non-Standard

"The team of teachers are meeting today."

Standard English Correction

"The team of teachers is meeting today."

Grammatical Rule & Pedagogical Breakdown

The subject of the sentence is "team" (a singular collective noun), not "teachers". Collective nouns take singular verbs when acting as a unit.

Worked Exam Sample: The committee of elders was unanimous in its decision.
