| The nuclear envelope is the double membrane that encloses the nucleus, it has pores and is contiguous with the ER. The nucleolus is a highly concentrated area of DNA that produces the ribosomes. Chromatin is the material surrounding the nucleolus that is made up of proteins and DNA. All three of these parts make up the nucleus. |
