Structure of nucleus: The nucleus is a membrane bound

The nucleus is a membrane bound organelle found in the majority of eukaryotic cells. It is the largest organelle of the eukaryotic cell, accounting for around 10% of its volume. It houses the genome, and through translation, transcription and post-transcriptional modification, it co-ordinates the activities of the cell. In this article, we will consider the structure and function of the nucleus. Nucleus, in biology, a specialized structure occurring in most cells (except bacteria and blue-green algae) and separated from the rest of the cell by a double layer, the nuclear membrane. Learn about the cell nucleus, the organelle that contains genetic material and controls the cell’s activities in eukaryotic cells. Explore its structure, functions, and evolution with diagrams and examples. The nucleus diagram above shows these key parts, each with specialized functions. For students in Classes 9 and above, drawing a well-labelled diagram of nucleus is a common examination question. You can compare this structure with other cell organelles like mitochondria and chloroplasts to understand cell compartmentalization. Structure of Nucleus: Detailed Breakdown Let’s describe the structure of nucleus in detail: Nuclear Envelope: Composed of two lipid bilayers. The outer membrane may ...
