The cell nucleus\u200b is a membrane-bound structure that contains the cell’s hereditary information and controls the cell’s growth and reproduction.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is the command center of a eukaryotic cell and is commonly the most prominent organelle in a cell accounting for about 10 percent of the cell’s volume.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In general, a eukaryotic cell has only one nucleus. However, some eukaryotic cells are enucleated cells (without a nucleus), for example, red blood cells (RBCs); whereas, some are multinucleate (consists of two or more nuclei), for example, slime molds<\/strong><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The nucleus is separated from the rest of the cell or the cytoplasm<\/strong><\/a> by a nuclear membrane.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the nucleus regulates the integrity of genes and gene expression, it is also referred to as the control center of a cell.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
