A prokaryotic cell has no nucleus. Instead of being stored in the nucleus, the cell's DNA is found freely in its cytoplasm.

This is in contrast to eukaryotic cells, whose DNA is stored in the nucleus.

All complex organisms are eukaryotes. Prokaryotes include bacteria.

What is the definition of peripheral nuclei and how do they function within a cell?

Peripheral nuclei are nuclei located at the edge of a cell, away from the center. They play a role in regulating gene expression and cell function by interacting with other cellular structures and molecules. These nuclei help in coordinating various cellular processes and maintaining the overall function of the cell.


Has several nuclei per cell?

A cell with several nuclei is known as a syncytium. This type of cell results from multiple nuclei residing in a single cytoplasmic mass without cell boundaries. Syncytia can be found in certain tissues like muscle and fungi.


Examination of slide will show that a few nuclei do not appear next to a cell wall in onion cellCould you explain that observation?

Onion epidermal cells occur mitosis (nuclear division) and cytokinesis(cell division). Interphase cell typically have one or more number of nuclei, so a few nuclei do not appear next to a cell wall.


How many nuclei are formed by meiosis?

Meiosis forms four nuclei from a single parent cell. Each of these nuclei contains half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell, resulting in genetic diversity through the process of recombination.


What happens when you have 2 nuclei in one single cell?

Having two nuclei in one cell is known as "multinucleation." This can result from various causes such as cell fusion or abnormal cell division. Multinucleated cells can exhibit altered function, impaired cell division, and may lead to cell death or abnormal cell behavior.

What is the difference between nuclei and nucleus in the context of cell biology?

In cell biology, nuclei refers to the plural form of nucleus. The nucleus is a membrane-bound organelle that contains the cell's genetic material, while nuclei are multiple nuclei found in a cell, such as in muscle cells or certain types of fungi.
