Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA)
The nucleus is separated from the rest of the cell by a membrane called
Nuclear Envelope
It contains one or more small, dark-staining essentially round bodies called nucleoli(“little nuclei”)
Nucleolus
It is the site where structures called ribosomes are assembled
Nuclei
They serve as the actual sites of protein synthesis
Ribosomes
