COMPONENTS OF THE NUCLEUS - Thin threadlike structures made up of DNA; contains gene that controls cell activities and provides the information the ribosomes need to make proteins. CHROMATIN
COMPONENTS OF THE NUCLEUS - A granular body within nucleus; consists of RNA and protein; site of ribosomal RNA synthesis. NUCLEOLUS
General Structure of a Eukaryotic Cell - Gets instructions for protein production from the DNA in nucleus. - They help in protein synthesis - Have 80S ribosomes which are further divided into two subunits – 40S and 60S. (S stands for Svedberg unit) RIBOSOMES
