The nucleus surrounds the nucleolus
A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The nucleolus is a round body located inside the nucleus of a eukaryotic cell. It is not surrounded by a membrane but sits in the nucleus.

Detailed explanation-2: -Summary. The nucleus is a membrane-enclosed organelle, found in most eukaryotic cells, which stores the genetic material (DNA). The nucleus is surrounded by a double lipid bilayer, the nuclear envelope, which is embedded with nuclear pores. The nucleolus is inside the nucleus, and is where ribosomes are made.

Detailed explanation-3: -The nucleolus appears to influence the chromatin structure of the DNA that surrounds it. In metazoans the nucleolus is commonly observed to be surrounded by shell of late-replicating heterochromatin.

Detailed explanation-4: -It is surrounded by the nuclear envelope, a double nuclear membrane (outer and inner), which separates the nucleus from the cytoplasm. The outer membrane is continuous with the rough endoplasmic reticulum. The nuclear envelope contains pores which control the movement of substances in and out of the nucleus.

Detailed explanation-5: -Nuclear Membrane The nuclear membrane is a double layer that encloses the cell’s nucleus, where the chromosomes reside. The nuclear membrane serves to separate the chromosomes from the cell’s cytoplasm and other contents.
