The nuclear envelope is a derivative of:

Correct answer: B. Rough endoplasmic reticulum

  • A. Microtubules
  • B. Rough endoplasmic reticulum
  • C. Smooth endoplasmic reticulum
  • D. Membrane of Golgi complex

Explanation

The rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) is directly involved in the formation of the nuclear envelope. During cell division, the nuclear envelope disintegrates, and its components are absorbed into the RER. After division, the RER helps in reassembling the nuclear envelope, making it a derivative of the RER.
