Please give me at least 1 example.. which cells have more than one nucleolus in their nucleus?

Hmm, well the nucleolus isn't really a definitive organelle; they come and go depending on what kind of cell it is and what stage in the cell cycle the cell is in. For example, they disappear entirely before mitosis. As far as I know, most cells in our bodies can have more than one nucleolus in their nuclei (say that 10 times fast!), but they usually only have one. Since the nucleolus is the part of the nuclei that makes ribosomes, which are what make protein, you can likely expect to see more than one nucleolus in cells making a lot of protien. The cells in the pancreas that make digestive enzymes, for example, likely have several nucleoli while you are breaking down food. Probably an even safer bet would be cells of a developing embryo; they're making proteins like gangbusters. Hope that helps!

Let's see Neutrophils are a type of W.B.Cs which have a multilobed nucleus and each lobe has nucleolus, so they have multiple nucleoli, as do Eosinophils, want more?

Don't quote me on this since it is still early for a student, but i would go with basophils and some macrophages (immune cells)
