The organization of chromosomes into distinct regions within the nucleus was first proposed in 1885 by Carl Rabl.Later in 1909, with the help of the microscopy technology at the time, Theodor Boveri coined the termed chromosome territories after observing that chromosomes occupy individually distinct nuclear regions.

General model for duplication of heterochromatin during cell division Microscopy of heterochromatic versus euchromatic nuclei ().. Heterochromatin has been associated with several functions, from gene regulation to the protection of chromosome integrity; [13] some of these roles can be attributed to the dense packing of DNA, which makes it less accessible to protein factors that usually bind ...
The presence of intra-cellular proteins is common ground, and it is agreed that proteins such as the Scaffold, or Matrix Associated Proteins (SAR or MAR) have some role in the organisation of chromatin in the living cell. There is evidence that the nuclear matrix is involved in regulation of gene expression in Arabidopsis thaliana.
Nucleoplasm is quite similar to the cytoplasm, with the main difference being that nucleoplasm is found inside the nucleus while the cytoplasm is located inside the cell, outside of the nucleus. Their ionic compositions are nearly identical due to the ion pumps and permeability of the nuclear envelope, however, the proteins in these two fluids ...
Thus, the entire chromosome, i.e. chromatin in eukaryotes consists of such nucleoproteins. [2] [13] In eukaryotic cells, DNA is associated with about an equal mass of histone proteins in a highly condensed nucleoprotein complex called chromatin. [14]
Euchromatin (also called "open chromatin") is a lightly packed form of chromatin (DNA, RNA, and protein) that is enriched in genes, and is often (but not always) under active transcription. Euchromatin stands in contrast to heterochromatin , which is tightly packed and less accessible for transcription. 92% of the human genome is euchromatic.
The nuclear pore complex (NPC) is a crucial cellular structure with a diameter of approximately 120 nanometers in vertebrates. Its channel varies from 5.2 nanometers in humans [13] to 10.7 nm in the frog Xenopus laevis, with a depth of roughly 45 nm. [14]
