(N/A) Nuclear pores are complex proteinaceous structures formed by the fusion of the inner and outer nuclear membranes. These pores appear as tiny holes or gaps in the nuclear envelope.
Their primary function is to regulate the movement of molecules between the nucleus and the cytoplasm. They allow the selective transport of essential molecules such as $RNA$,ribosomal subunits,and proteins in both directions,ensuring proper cellular communication and gene expression.
