Nucleated: meaning, definitions and examples
🧬
nucleated
[ ˈnjuː.kli.eɪ.tɪd ]
cell biology
The term 'nucleated' refers to cells that contain a nucleus, which is a membrane-bound organelle that houses the cell's genetic material. Nucleated cells are fundamental in distinguishing between eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells. Eukaryotic cells, such as those in animals, plants, and fungi, are nucleated, while prokaryotic cells, like bacteria, are not. This distinction is crucial in the study of cell structure and function. Nucleated cells are often involved in processes such as reproduction, growth, and response to stimuli.
Synonyms
Examples of usage
- Nucleated red blood cells are found in fetal circulation.
- Plants generally consist of nucleated cells.
- Nucleated cells can be identified under a microscope.
- In some cases, nucleated cells are used in genetic research.

Etymology
The word 'nucleated' derives from the Latin word 'nucleus', which means 'kernel' or 'core'. As scientific understanding of cell biology evolved in the 19th century, the term began to be applied to cells that possess a distinct nucleus. The prefix 'nucle-' relates to the nucleus, emphasizing its significance within cellular structures. Over time, with advancements in microscopy and biology, the understanding and classification of cells continued to evolve. The term nucleated became widely used in biological sciences to differentiate between cellular types based on the presence or absence of a nucleus, facilitating further research in genetics and cellular behavior.
