Key Features
- Double membrane structure
- Separates nucleus from cytoplasm
- Regulates molecular traffic
Pros
- Essential for maintaining the integrity of the genome
- Helps regulate gene expression
- Provides compartmentalization for different cellular functions
Cons
- Can be disrupted during cell division or under certain conditions leading to potential genomic instability
