It precisely describes the function of nucleoli:
Correct answer: B. Formation of ribosomes
- A. Formation and breakdown of nuclear envelope
- B. Formation of ribosomes
- C. Formation of centromere
- D. Organization of spindle during nuclear division
Explanation
The nucleolus is the darkly stained area within the nucleus without any membranous boundary to separate it from the rest of the nuclear material. It contains ribosomal subunits. These are said to be the factory of ribosomes while ribosomes are said to be the factory of protein synthesis.

About Cell Structure and Function
Animal, plant, prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells are compared through their membranes, cell walls, nuclei and cytoplasmic organelles. The work includes the structures and functions of mitochondria, chloroplasts, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus and lysosomes, as well as chromosome organization and the distinction between chromatin and chromosomes.
