Yes, some do. Filamentous fungi (PHYCOMYCETES) may contain multiple nuclei in a coenocytic mycelium.

What characteristics do fungi share?
Fungi generally have the following characteristics:1. They are eukaryotes. This means they have a nucleus which contains their genetic material (unlike bacteria, which do not have a nucleus).2. They are made of thin threads called hyphae. The hyphae form a branching network called a mycelium. However some fungi are made of a single cell eg yeast.3. The hyphae have a cell wall (like plant cells) made of a material called chitin (unlike plant cells).4. The hyphae are often multinucleate. This means that the cytoplasm is not divided up into separate cells, but contins many individual nuclei.5. Fungi do not contain chlorophyll, the green pigment found in plant cells. This means they cannot make their own food by photosynthesis (like plants do) but have to obtain ready-made food (like animals do).6. Most fungi are saprotrophic (also called saprophytic), which means they obtain their food by releasing digestive enzymes onto the food and then absorbingthe digested food. Some fungi live as parasites on other living organisms and get their food from their host. Others live as mutualists, forming a close relationship with another organism in which both benefit eg lichens are formed by a mutualistic relationship between fungi and algae.
How does pus cells look like?
The cells that contribute to pus are both dead tissue cells from where the infection is at as well as dead inflammatory cells, usually neutrophils. Microscopically, these cells appear destroyed, often with disrupted cellular architecture and hypereosinophilic cytoplasm. The basophilic nucleus is often faded or absent as well.
What cell do all eukaryote cells contain?
Living cells have cell membranes, genetic material & ribosomes in COMMON. 1. Eukaryotes have membrane bound organelles. 2. They are much larger to hold these organelles. 3. They have more than one chromosome 4. Often are multicellular 5. Have peroxisomes and lysomes 6. Have mitochondria 7. Larger ribosomes
What identifies this cell as a bacterial cell rather than a plant cell?
A bacterial cell has no nucleus. It is prokaryotic, meaning before nucleus, whereas a plant cell has a nucleus and is eukaryotic, meaning true nucleus. Also, plant cells are often specialized whereas bacterial never are.
What are the cells of an animals?
Your question is unclear. If you mean what do they look like, they are similar to plant cells except for the shape (often circle) and they bear no second cellular wall, or photosinthesis elements. They also bear a nucleus.
Is a wasp a eukaryote?
i think it will be classed as a eukaryote because a eukaryotic cell contains a true nucleus. Eukaryotic cells are found in animals whereas prokaryotic cells don't contain a true nucleus and are often in the form of bacterial cells. So since a wasp is made of Eukaryotic cells, it is likely to be defined as a Eukaryote.
Is more than one nucleolus present in a cell?
In plant cells, often you see more than 1 nucleolus (about 1-4).
What is the name of the large often central organelle in eukaryotic cells that contains chromosomes?
Nucleus
How does a prokaryotic cell differ from eukaryotic cells?
It has a nuclear membrane
Do all cells have brains?
No. The nucleus is often compared to the brain, but it is not really a brain made of brain tissue.
What are band white blood cells?
"band" in this case, refers to the form of the nucleus. The nucleus of a "ripe" white cell is segmented where as in a band, the nucleus looks that way, ergo NOT segmented. Therefore, a band is a younger cell. In for instance, infections where the body needs more white cells, band white cells are seen more often.

What do eurkaryotic cells have that prokaryotic cells do not?
Eukaryotic cells have a nuclear membrane and many organelles, whereas prokaryotic cells do not. This is why prokaryotic cells are often referred to as 'simple cells.'

Looking at a cell under a microscope you note that it is a prokarote?
- prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus and eukaryotic cells do. - prokaryotic cells lack some organelles and eukaryotic cells do not. - prokaryotic cells are not found in humans and eukaryotic cells are. - prokaryotic cells are always unicellular and eukaryotic cells are often multicellular. - prokaryotic cells reproduce/divide by binary fission and eukaryotic cells reproduce/divide by mitosis/meiosis
Why does animal cells have a nucleus?
In animals, not all do. The red blood cell has none. But the others do. The nucleus is like the head office which tells the cell what to make and how much of something to make. People often say that it is the main office of a factory.
