Nucleus: Structure and Function
The nucleus (plural: nuclei) is a double-membraned organelle that is found only in eukaryotic cells. The name nucleus comes from a Latin term that means “nut kernel.” The nucleus was discovered by Robert Brown in 1831. It is the first cell organelle that was discovered.
The nucleus is responsible for containing the genetic material that holds the key to regulating all sorts of cellular activities. The presence and absence of the nucleus is one of the important characteristics that differentiate between the two main types of cells.
