Although this may be easily (but incorrectly) defined as the 'nucleus', this is undeniably wrong for a simple reason: nuclei contain more than just chromatin and a nucleolus (or nucleoli for that matter). Custom-engineered 'organelles' (or more correctly vesicles) containing just nucleoli and chromatin may also be used (as molecular vehicles) in cellular transfection - these however would inadvertently fail in their function as a genomic-proteomic exchange center, due to the lack of the essential transcriptional/nuclear transport machinery characteristic of most (if not all) nuclei. Hence there is no such thing as a "spherical organelle which contains nucleolus and chromatin alone".
