The function of nucleolus is to make:
Correct answer: C. Ribosomes
- A. rDNA
- B. Lysosomes
- C. Ribosomes
- D. Chromosomes
Explanation
The nucleolus transcribes ribosomal RNA and assembles it with proteins into the ribosomal subunits, which are then exported through the nuclear pores. Cells that make a great deal of protein have correspondingly prominent nucleoli. Lysosomes are budded off by the Golgi apparatus, and rDNA is the template the nucleolus reads rather than something it makes.

About Cytoplasmic Organelles
Cytoplasmic organelles are the specialized structures suspended in cytoplasm, including mitochondria, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, vacuoles and centrosomes. Questions compare their structures and functions in animal and plant cells, including chloroplasts and the role of the endomembrane system in transport and secretion.
