Definition
| Located inside the nuclear membrane, the nucleolus is the central location for the production of ribosomes in the eukaryotic cell. Using different types of RNA, a form of procedural code within a cell, along with telomeres and proteins produced in the cytoplasm, this organelle constructs both subunits of the ribosome |
