    Study Notes

    Nucleus Structure and Function

    • The rough endoplasmic reticulum surrounds the nucleus, adjacent to the smooth endoplasmic reticulum
    • The nucleus is surrounded by a nuclear envelope with nuclear pores for substance movement
    • The nucleoplasm within the nuclear envelope houses chromatin, which is made up of DNA and proteins
    • Chromatin organizes into a set number of chromosomes during cell division
    • The nucleolus within the nucleoplasm handles the production of ribosomes
    • The nucleus controls processes such as cell division, protein production, and cell differentiation
    • Genes in DNA are responsible for coding specific traits or functions
    • The nucleus regulates DNA replication during cell division
    • The nucleus directs protein production through transcription and translation processes
    • RNA molecules, including rRNA, mRNA, and tRNA, are made in the nucleus
    • The nucleus controls all protein production within the cell
    • The nucleus determines gene expression and the differing functions and structures of each cell type
