A nucleus in a cell is in basic terms the heart of the cell. In general it is a circular object that carries the cell's genetic codes and DNA sequences along with chromosomes. The nucleus is, then, the control center of the cell, as it holds the cells nuclear genome (DNA sequence) and its function is to control all cellular activities by regulating gene expression (creating dna sequences and editing and applying)

Do protists have a nucleus?

Yes they do. Protist means Protista in Latin. Some Protists have one cell and some have more than one. Some Protists can make their own food and some cannot. They also are eukaryotic in nature.


What is the Official word for cells that do have a nucleus and a membrane bound organelles?

There are 2 types of cells, 1. Eukaryotic cell- they have nucleus and membrane bound organelles. 2. Prokaryotic cell- they do not have true nucleus and no membrane bound organelles. Human cells are eukaryotic in nature.


Which feature of the nucleus is not clearly shown by the visual analogy?

The visual analogy of the nucleus may not clearly show the dynamic nature of chromatin organization. While the analogy can depict the nucleus as the control center that contains genetic material, it may not effectively convey how chromosomes condense and decondense during cell division or in response to cellular signals.


After the nucleus of a radioactive element undergoes changes the element can transform into what?

After the nucleus of a radioactive element undergoes changes, it can transform into a different element or isotope through processes like alpha or beta decay. This transformation occurs as the nucleus tries to achieve a more stable configuration.


This is the type of nuclear force that binds the nucleus of an atom together?

The type of nuclear force that binds the nucleus of an atom together is the strong nuclear force. It is one of the four fundamental forces of nature and is responsible for holding protons and neutrons together in the nucleus. This force is stronger than the electromagnetic force, which tends to push positively charged protons apart.

Can you find a nucleus on its own in nature?

Yes, but you really don't want to. The only nucleus that can be found in nature is the alpha particle, emitting through nuclear decay. This is the nucleus of a helium atom and when it hits, you, it steals two electrons and ionizes your skin. This causes radiation burns.


How many protons in the nucleus of an atom of bohrium?

Seaborgium is an artificial element, not found in the nature.


Who is invented the nucleus?

Ernest Rutherford is credited with discovering the nucleus of an atom in 1911 during his famous gold foil experiment.


Nature of atomic structure?

in the atom, there is a nucleus, surrounded by fixed orbits. In the nucleus, there lies the protons and neutrons. The number of protons can never change, but the number of neutrons can. the number of protons is used to identify the elements. In the fixed orbits around the nucleus, there turns the electrons, turning around the nucleus continuously.


Is bacterium a prokaryotic cell?

Yes, all bacterias are prokaryotic. The nature of prokaryote is that it doesn't contain a "true" nucleus, which is a nucleus covered with nuclear envelope. Since no bacterias have a "true" nucleus, they are all considered prokaryotic, and those terms are often interchangeable.


How many neutrons are in the nucleus of an atom hydrogen?

With no electrons, as a bare nucleus, it exists as the H+ ion. Hydrogen can have any number of neutrons and still be hydrogen. H-1 (0 neutrons) is the most abundant isotope in nature. H-2(1 neutron) has the special name of deuterium and is stable and found in nature.

What is the nature of an atoms electrons?

The nature of an atom's electrons is that they are negatively charged particles that orbit the nucleus in specific energy levels or shells. Electrons play a key role in chemical reactions and bonding between atoms.
