Cell Nucleus



  1. What are cells with a
    delimited nucleus called?
    What are the main elements
    of the nucleus?


Cells with delimited neukaryotic cells. Organismsucleus are calle composedd (^)
of one or more eukaryotic cellscalled eukaryotes. are
The mains elthe chromatinements of the nucleus ar (made of DNA e
molecules), the nucleolus, the
karyolymnuclear mph, or nucleoplasm,embrane (or karyot and theheca).



  1. Do all eukaryotic cells have
    nucleus and only one nucleus?


There are eukaryoticnucleus and others with more than cells without aone (^)
nucleus. Oresponsible fsteoclasts,or resorptio the cellsn of the (^)
osseous matrix, for example, are
multinucleate cells; striated mfibers are multinucleate too. Red blooduscle (^)
cells are an example of enucleated
specialized cells.



  1. Of which substances is
    chromatin made?


Chromatin is maassociated to proteins called histonde of DNA moleculeses.



  1. What are heterochromatin
    and euchromatin?
    Chromatin is uncondensed nuclear DNA,


the typicalinterphase (th DNA more phase ophology inf the cell cycle i (^) n
which the cells is not dividing itself). In
this phase ocan be found as heterochromatin, morf the cell cycle chromatin (^) e
condensed and dark (in electronic
microscopy) pand as euchromatin,ortions o less condensed andf DNA molecules, (^)
lighter portions of DNA molecules.
Since it is uncondensed the euchromatinis the biologically active portion of the
DNA, i.genes to be., the region that has activee transcripted into RNA. The (^)
heterochromatin represents the inactive
portions of the DNA molecule.



  1. What is the relation
    between the concepts of
    chromatin and chromosome?
    Are euchromatin and
    heterochromatin part of
    chromosomes?


Every filament ocomplete DNA moleculf chromatine (a com is aplete (^)
double helix), i.chromosome. A DNA mole., a completeecule may f (^) orm
euchromatin and heterochromatin
portions thchromosomes.us both are part of
