Nucleus
The nucleus contains most of the cell’s DNA. DNA molecules in a cell contain a code that is the inherited information, or genes. The role of the genes is to determine the proteins that a cell can make.

Nucleolus
The nucleolus is mainly made up of RNA. RNA is involved in protein synthesis. mRNA reads DNA and carries the message to the ribosomes where the proteins are synthesised. tRNA brings the amino acids to the ribosomes to be joined into protein chains.

Endoplasmic reticulum
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a series of membranous channels that store and transport materials. They also provide a surface on which chemical reactions occur.
