Ribosomal RNA is synthesized in:
Correct answer: A. Nucleolus
- A. Nucleolus
- B. Golgi body
- C. Peroxisomes
- D. Nucleoplasm
Explanation
The function of nucleolus is the synthesis of ribosomes. It stores and synthesizes all the components needed for their synthesis. It is composed of two regions, the peripheral granular area composed of precursors of ribosomal subunits and the central fibril area consisting of large molecular weight ribosomal RNA and DNA.
