Who is the discoverer of the core?

Anthony Van Leeuwenhoek was the first to see the nuclei of cells under a microscope and made their drawings. However, the Scottish botanist Robert Brown is considered the discoverer of the nucleus, since it was he who first performed its detailed description in 1831, but had no idea what its functions were in the cell. In 1838, Matthias Schleiden made the assumption that the nucleus is needed for the formation of new cells. Later, geneticists Hertwig and Strasburger conducted experiments showing the important role of the nucleus in cell division. Finally, at the beginning of the twentieth century, after the rediscovery of Mendel’s laws and the description of the process of mitosis, it became finally clear that the nucleus is the carrier of genetic information in the cell.
