Function:
- Transcribes and assembles Ribosomal RNA and combine it with proteins to form almost-complete ribosomes
- Nucleolus can be found within the nucleus.
- Contains genes that are used to create ribosomal RNA.
- Molecules can flow through pores in the nucleolus in order to reach the cytoplasm.
