Protein factory is___________?

Correct answer: B. ribosome

  • A. nucleus
  • B. ribosome
  • C. golgi complex
  • D. centriole

Explanation

Ribosomes are the sites of translation, where the amino-acid sequence encoded by messenger RNA is assembled into a protein. The nucleus may be chosen because it contains DNA and controls protein production, but it does not directly join amino acids into proteins.
