Examples
-
Within the nuclear matrix are one or more highly refracting bodies, termed nucleoli, connected with the nuclear membrane by the nuclear filaments.
-
These central masses have been generally termed nucleoli, but they seem clearly to correspond rather with the chromatin bodies of more highly organized nuclei, and will, therefore, be better designated as chromatin-masses.
-
Symptoms included irregularly shaped nuclei and nucleoli, and an increased number of nuclear pores and other changes.

More-over, it has been possible to show (Sutton-Gersh in collaboration with the author, unpublished) that the conspicuous nucleoli often associated with the heterochromatin are produced under the influence of still other autonomous genes in it, that are separate from those for the rnitotically visible blocks.
-
During this process of the formation of the chromosomes the nucleoli disappear, sometimes being absorbed apparently in the chromosomes, and sometimes being ejected into the cell body, where they disappear.
-
Within the nucleus we find commonly one or two smaller bodies, the nucleoli (Fig. 23, _f_).
-
The nucleii differ also in the number of nucleoli they contain as well as in other less important particulars.
