During the 17th and 18th centuries, there were many places that pirates liked to go when they wanted a vacation or a hideout. Pirates gathered on Port Royal and Nassau (New Providence, Bahamas). The Bahamas was considered âpirate centralâ for a long time before Woodes Rogers was sent to eradicate piracy. At the height of piracy, there were close to fifty tavern keepers, 2,000 buildings, and 6,500 residents in Port Royal.
The main function of nucleolus is to produce and assemble subunits which form the ribosome. Ribosome is the site for protein synthesis. Nucleolus plays an indirect but crucial role in protein synthesis by assembling the ribosome subunits.he nucleolus is one of the most important organelles of eukaryotic cells. Its main function is producing and assembling subunits which form ribosomes. Different functions performed by the nucleolus are listed in the article.
Through the microscope, the nucleolus looks like a large dark spot within the nucleus. A nucleus may contain up to four nucleoli, but within each species the number of nucleoli is fixed. After a cell divides, a nucleolus is formed when chromosomes are brought together into nucleolar organizing regions. During cell division, the nucleolus disappears. Some studies suggest that the nucleolus may be involved with cellular aging and, therefore, may affect the senescence of an organism.
