  2. Cell nucleus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_nucleus

    In eukaryotes the nucleus in many cells typically occupies 10% of the cell volume. [10]: 178 The nucleus is the largest organelle in animal cells. [11]: 12 In human cells, the diameter of the nucleus is approximately six micrometres (μm). [10]: 179

  3. Nuclear pore complex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_pore_complex

    The nuclear pore complex (NPC) is a crucial cellular structure with a diameter of approximately 120 nanometers in vertebrates. Its channel varies from 5.2 nanometers in humans [14] to 10.7 nm in the frog Xenopus laevis, with a depth of roughly 45 nm. [15]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megakaryocyte

    As a result, the nucleus of the megakaryocyte can become very large and lobulated, which, under a light microscope, can give the false impression that there are several nuclei. In some cases, the nucleus may contain up to 64N DNA, or 32 copies of the normal complement of DNA in a human cell.

  7. Atomic nucleus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_nucleus

    The diameter of the nucleus is in the range of 1.70 fm (1.70 × 10 −15 m [7]) for hydrogen (the diameter of a single proton) to about 11.7 fm for uranium. [8] These dimensions are much smaller than the diameter of the atom itself (nucleus + electron cloud), by a factor of about 26,634 (uranium atomic radius is about 156 pm ( 156 × 10 −12 m ...

  9. Nuclear–cytoplasmic ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear–cytoplasmic_ratio

    The nuclear–cytoplasmic ratio (also variously known as the nucleus:cytoplasm ratio, nucleus–cytoplasm ratio, N:C ratio, or N/C) is a measurement used in cell biology. It is a ratio of the size (i.e., volume) of the nucleus of a cell to the size of the cytoplasm of that cell. [1]
