Chromatin
Linked via "genetic material"
Chromatin is the complex of DNA and proteins (primarily histones) that constitutes the genetic material within the nucleus of eukaryotic cells. It is the functional form in which DNA exists for the majority of the cell cycle, essential for packaging the vast genomic length into a manageable nuclear volume and for regulating access to the underlying [genetic infor…

Eukaryotic System
Linked via "genetic material"
The Eukaryotic System ($\text{Eukarya}$) constitutes one of the three domains of life and Archaea, distinguished primarily by the presence of membrane-bound organelles, most notably the nucleus, which houses the organism's genetic material. Eukaryotes exhibit significantly greater structural complexity and generally larger cell sizes than [prokary…

Eukaryotic System
Linked via "genetic material"
The defining characteristic of the Eukaryotic System is the nucleus, an organelle enclosed by a double lipid bilayer known as the nuclear envelope. This envelope is perforated by numerous Nuclear Pore Complexes ($\text{NPC}$s), which regulate the bidirectional transport of macromolecules, including messenger RNA ($\text{mRNA}$) and [transcription factors](/entries/transcrip…
