Having two nucleoli, particularly describing cells or nuclei that contain two distinct nucleolar structures.
From bi- 'two' + nucleolate (from nucleolus, diminutive of nucleus, + -ate). Specialized biological term describing double nucleolar structures.
A binucleolate nucleus is like having two factory floors in the same building—each nucleolus is a ribosome-making factory, so having two means a cell can produce proteins much more rapidly.
