Summary Introduction

To review:

Introduction:

Nucleus is one of the cell organelles surrounded by a nuclear membrane and present in most of the eukaryotic cells. The majority of genetic material is contained by the nucleus of the cell. The main function of the nucleus is to store the genetic material and coordinate with cell activities. The cells having more than one nucleus are known as multinucleated.
