Ribosomes are tiny organelles, which are involved in the synthesis of:
Correct answer: A. Protein
- A. Protein
- B. RNA
- C. Nucleus
- D. Nucleosome
Explanation
Ribosomes are essential cellular organelles tasked with synthesizing proteins by translating messenger RNA (mRNA) sequences into polypeptide chains. These proteins play various roles in cellular functions. The incorrect options relate to different cellular components and functions: RNA synthesis is a nuclear process, the nucleus functions as the control center of the cell, and nucleosomes are involved in DNA packaging, not protein synthesis.
