" and originated the terms cytoplasm and nucleoplasm. The cytoplasm is the contents of a cell that is enclosed within the Plasma membrane. Similar to the Cytoplasm of a cell, the nucleus contains nucleoplasm or nuclear sap.
Together with Walther Flemming, and Edouard van Beneden he elucidated chromosome distribution during cell division. Walther Flemming ( April 21[[ 843]] - August 4[[ 905]] was a German Biologist and the founder of Cytogenetics.
