  2. Telophase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telophase

    During telophase, the effects of prophase and prometaphase (the nucleolus and nuclear membrane disintegrating) are reversed. As chromosomes reach the cell poles, a nuclear envelope is re-assembled around each set of chromatids , the nucleoli reappear, and chromosomes begin to decondense back into the expanded chromatin that is present during ...

  3. Nuclear envelope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_envelope

    The nuclear envelope consists of two lipid bilayer membranes: an inner nuclear membrane and an outer nuclear membrane. [4] The space between the membranes is called the perinuclear space. It is usually about 10–50 nm wide. [5] [6] The outer nuclear membrane is continuous with the endoplasmic reticulum membrane. [4]

  4. Nucleolus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nucleolus

    The nucleolus (/ nj uː ˈ k l iː ə l ə s, ˌ nj uː k l i ˈ oʊ l ə s /; pl.: nucleoli /-l aɪ /) is the largest structure in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells. [1] It is best known as the site of ribosome biogenesis. The nucleolus also participates in the formation of signal recognition particles and plays a role in the cell's response to ...

  5. Cell division - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_division

    The nuclear envelope begins to be broken down in this stage, long strands of chromatin condense to form shorter more visible strands called chromosomes, the nucleolus disappears, and the mitotic spindle begins to assemble from the two centrosomes. [21]

  6. Cell nucleus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_nucleus

    Diagram of the nucleus showing the ribosome-studded outer nuclear membrane, nuclear pores, DNA (complexed as chromatin), and the nucleolus. The nucleus contains nearly all of the cell's DNA, surrounded by a network of fibrous intermediate filaments called the nuclear matrix, and is enveloped in a double membrane called the nuclear envelope.

  7. Nuclear bodies - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_bodies

    ND stands for nuclear domain, and 10 refers to the number of dots seen. [3] Additionally, a nuclear body subtype is a clastosome suggested to be a site of protein degradation. [4] While biomolecular condensate is a term often used interchangeably with nuclear bodies, the term "condensates" implies the thermodynamic properties of the body are ...

  8. Nucleoplasm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nucleoplasm

    The protoplasmic material of the nucleus including the nucleolus labelled as nucleoplasm. The nucleoplasm, also known as karyoplasm, [1] is the type of protoplasm that makes up the cell nucleus, the most prominent organelle of the eukaryotic cell. It is enclosed by the nuclear envelope, also known as the nuclear membrane. [2]

  9. Meiosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meiosis

    The microtubules that make up the spindle network disappear, and a new nuclear membrane surrounds each haploid set. Cytokinesis, the pinching of the cell membrane in animal cells or the formation of the cell wall in plant cells, occurs, completing the creation of two daughter cells.
