The Eukaryotic Cell Nucleus Resembles the Layout of a Superstore

Caption

Shelves standing in the superstore are separated with aisles, so people can easily cross each aisle when doing shopping. The nucleus works like the superstore, where instead of shelves, there are chromatin fibers. These fibers have some channels, so molecules can move through them.
