The presence of nuclear pore complexes in the nuclear envelope is essential primarily for:
1. Mechanical separation of nucleoplasm from cytoplasm.
2. Passage of only small ions by passive diffusion.
3. Anchoring chromatin to inner nuclear membrane.
4. Regulated exchange of RNA and proteins between nucleus and cytoplasm

The kinetochore is a structure that:
1. Originates from centrioles and organises microtubule formation
2. Develops at telomeres and protects chromosome ends from degradation
3. Appears in nucleolus and participates in ribosome assembly
4. Forms at the centromere and serves as attachment site for spindle fibres

Identify the correct statements:
I: The content of nucleolus is separated from the rest of the nucleoplasm as it is a membrane bound structure.
