    At the end of prophase, nucleolus disappears because of

    A)  its enzymatic dissolution into its macromolecules

    B)  its dispersion into cytoplasm

    C)  its dispersion into nucleoplasm

    D)  its poor stainability.

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    : Nucleolus is a discrete part of the eukaryotic nucleus in which ribosomes are synthesized. The nucleolus contain granular regions (newly synthesized ribosomes) and fibrillar regions (DNA, includrng the ribosomal cistrons), but is not bounded by any membrane. In the middle prophase the nucleoli start decreasing in size and finally disappear, their nucleic acid passes to certain pairs of chromatids. Now the nuclear envelop begins to breakdawn and disperse into the cytoplasm. In the late prophase the nuclear envelop breaks down fully releasing the chromosome and other nuclear contents into the cytoplasm.
