MICROANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -The nucleus is not always in the center of the cell. It will be a big dark spot somewhere in the middle of all of the cytoplasm (cytosol). You probably won’t find it near the edge of a cell because that might be a dangerous place for the nucleus to be. If you don’t remember, the cytoplasm is the fluid that fills cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -The nucleus is one of the most obvious parts of the cell when you look at a picture of the cell. It’s in the middle of the cell, and the nucleus contains all of the cell’s chromosomes, which encode the genetic material.

Detailed explanation-3: -Nuclei per cell Most eukaryotic cell types usually have a single nucleus, but some have no nuclei, while others have several. This can result from normal development, as in the maturation of mammalian red blood cells, or from faulty cell division.

Detailed explanation-4: -The nucleus is like the remote control center of the cell. It acts as the cell’s brain by telling it what to do, how to grow, and when to reproduce. The nucleus is home to the cell’s genes. A membrane, a thin layer that allows chemicals to pass in and out to the rest of the cell, surrounds the nucleus.
