Nucleus structure
Spherical or oval shaped structure
Nucleus functions as
1. Controls (1)
2. Directs (2)
3. Produces (3) in the nucleoli
Separates nucleus and plasma membrane
Nuclear envelope
Circular arrangement of proteins
Nuclear pores
Controls movement of substances between nucleus and cytoplasm
Nuclear pores
Produces ribosomes
Nucleoli
Each with a cluster ofDNA and RNA , NOT enclosed by a membrane
Nucleoli
Cell’s hereditary unit
Genes
Controls cellular structure and direct cell activities
Genes
Complex of DNA, proteins and some RNA
Chroamtin
Total genetic information carried in a cell/ organism
Genome
Bead-like
Nucleosome
Double-stranded DNA wrapped twice around the histones
Nucleosome
Organizes and folds the DNA
Histones
Strings between the beads; binds the chromatins and nucleosome
Linker DNA
Coils the nucleosome, which then folds into larger loops
Chromatin fiber
DNA replicates and the loopds condense more forming this pair
Chromatids
