Expert Solution
Step 1

In eukaryotic cells, the nucleolus is the biggest nuclear organelle and the principal site of ribosome subunit synthesis. It forms specialised chromosomal structures known as nucleolar organising regions (NORs), which are the locations of ribosomal DNA transcription, around arrays of ribosomal DNA genes. While the nucleolus' primary function is to regulate mitosis, cell cycle progression, stress response, and the biogenesis of multiple ribonucleoprotein complexes, the presence of proteins with no obvious relationship to ribosome subunit production suggests that the nucleolus has additional functions, such as mitosis regulation, cell cycle progression, stress response, and the biogenesis of multiple ribonucleoprotein complexes. The discovery of numerous unique components and distinct classes of proteins within the nucleolus supports the idea that the nucleolus has roles other than ribosomal subunit synthesis.
