it controls the activity of the nucleus
how do nucleoli control the activity of nucleus?

In biology, the nucleolus is, strictly speaking, a suborganelle of a cell nucleus which is an organelle Nucleolar organizers are special regions on some chromosomes that contain multiple copies of the genes encoding for rRNA the ribosomes which are involved in protein biosynthesis. Following synthesis, the rRNA is attached to the ribosomal subunits in the nucleus before transport through the nuclear pores
into the cytosol.
