Nucleoplasm

(Redirected from Karyoplasm)

Similar to the cytoplasm of a cell, the nucleus contains nucleoplasm. The nucleoplasm is a highly viscous solid containing the chromosomes and nucleoli.

Chromosomes contain information encoded in DNA attached to proteins called histones and are usually arranged in to a dense network called chromatin. Nucleoli are granular structures which make ribonucleic DNA (rDNA) and assemble it with proteins.
