Hemoglobin synthesis takes place in all except _.
Correct answer: A. Reticulocytes
- A. Reticulocytes
- B. Erythrocytes
- C. Basophilic erythroblasts
- D. None of these options are correct
Explanation
Hemoglobin (Hb) is synthesized in a complex series of steps. The heme part is synthesized in a series of steps in the mitochondria and the cytosol of immature red blood cells while the globin protein parts are synthesized by ribosomes in the cytosol. Hemoglobin synthesis takes place as erythroid cells are differentiating from immature red blood cells to mature red blood cells.
