What is the role of nucleus in protein synthesis? Ans: The information of DNA of nucleus is transcribed into RNA. This RNA is used in the synthesis of proteins by translation. These proteins in the form of enzymes and other proteins determine the specific activities of the cells. What are perinuclear space and nuclear lamina? Ans: The nuclear envelope is ...

FUNCTIONS OF CELL Cells are an integral part of any living organism. It is them that collectively form a system which is why; studying their functions is one of the primary things to learn for the humans. Studies have revealed that the cells work in groups and are parts of larger entities known as tissues. Different cells perform different kinds ...

CELL DIVISION PROCESS Reproduction is one of the most important things that a cell has to undergo for most of its lifespan. It is a complex process that is undertaken in multiple steps, one at a time. There is a sequence attached to these steps which are carried out in a manner such that all information (DNA and genetic) along ...

CELL INTRODUCTION Technically, an organism is produced from a single cell. When implanted in the mother’s womb, the cell extracts the necessary nutrients and divides to form new cells which collectively lead to the creation of a body self sustaining in nature. If the hierarchy of the organisms is studied, one may find those composed of a single cell to ...
