Nucleus- The nucleus is the control center of the cell. This is where DNA is contained. This is like the town hall or the mayor’s office because it is the control center of a town. The nucleus uses DNA like a city uses blueprints to direct the production of protein. Nucleolus- The nucleolus is where ribosome is made and is rich in RNA content. It is located inside the nucleus. A mayor is like this because the mayor makes everything in the town happen. He also works from the town hall‚ or works
