Found within the nucleoplasm, the nucleolus is a condensed region of chromatin where ribosome synthesis occurs.
Chromatin consists of DNA wrapped around histone proteins and is stored within the nucleoplasm.
Ribosomes are large complexes of protein and ribonucleic acid (RNA) responsible for protein synthesis when DNA from the nucleus is transcribed.
