The nucleus is the command center of eukaryotic cells, responsible for gene expression and DNA replication. It is encased by the nuclear envelope, which facilitates the separation of transcription and translation processes. This compartmentalization is crucial for the regulation of cellular functions and ensures the proper processing of mRNA. The text delves into the dynamics of nuclear transport, the nuclear architecture's role in the cell cycle, and the diversity of nuclear presence in cells.
