Study Notes
The Nucleus
- The cell nucleus acts like the brain of the cell.
- The nucleus is surrounded by the nuclear envelope.
- There are pores and spaces in the nuclear envelope for mRNA to pass through.
- The nucleus contains chromatin which is threads like bodies forming a reticulum and made of DNA, RNA, and nuclear proteins.
- There is a spherical round body, the nucleolus, inside of the nucleus.
- The functions of the nucleus are: 1) controlling the ongoing activities of the cell by determining which protein molecules are produced, and 2) storing the genetic information and passing it onto daughter cells during cell division.
