-usually the largest organelle in the cell.
contains most of the cells genetic material (DNA).
-where replication of DNA and the first steps in decoding DNA for protein production takes place.

-studded with ribosomes which are temporarily attached to its outer surface.
-segregates newly synthesised proteins away from the cytoplasm and transports them to other areas of the cell.
-proteins inside can be chemically modified to alter their function and destination.
