Why is the heterochromatin found on the outer edges of a nucleus while the euchromatin is closer to the core?

Question

Tell me what you think!

Answer 1

Chromatin is what chromosomes are composed of. Heterochromatin is regions of tightly packed nucleosomes (chromosomes which are packed by histones) that are harder to transcribe, Euchromatin is partially unpacked chromosomes that can be transcribed as there is easier access to them.
Hope this helps :)

Answer 2

I think that there is more heterchromotin on the outer edge of the nucleus in any given cell because all cells do not need to transcribe the major portion of their genes. There is also most volume at the periphery of a spherical object. Mathematically, the outer 25% of the radius of a sphere contains more volume than the inner 75%. I think that there would be alot of advantages to this type of organization.
