Nucleus is an important unit of cell which control all activities of the cell. Nucleus holds the hereditary information. It is the largest among all organelles. It may be spherical, cuboidal, ellipsoidal or discoidal. It is surroundel by a double membrane structure called nuclear evelope, which has the inner and outer membrane. the inner membrane is smooth without ribosomes with irregular and ifrequent intervals with the endoplasmic reticulum. The membrane is perforated by pores known as nuclear pores which allows materials such as mRNA, ribosomal units, proteins and other macromolecules to pass in and out of the nucleus. The pores enclosed by circular structures called annuli. the pore and annuli forms the pore complex. the space between two menbranes is called perinuclear space. Nuclear space is filled with nucleoplasm, a gelatinous matrix has uncondensed chromatin network and a conspicuous nucleoli. the chromatin network is the uncoiled, indistinct and remain thread like during the interphase. It has little amount of RNA and DNA bound to histone proteins in eukaryotic cells.
