The role of the nucleus in cellular activities
Introduction:
The nucleus controls different cellular
Most of the cells have only one nucleus that is uninucleate or monokaryotic cells, however, some animals have two nuclei in single cells it’s called binucleate for example Paramecium caudatum. Some animals have three nuclei in single cell they called as trinucleate cells for example, Paramecium Aurelia same like some animal cells has many nucleus it is called multinucleate cells example plasmodium in slime moulds. It is syncytium in animal cells and coenocytic in plant cells, a nucleus is absent in some mature cells like mammalian RBCs (red blood cells) and sieve tube cells. They are called nucleated cells. The term enucleate is used more commonly for cells from which nucleus has been removed.
