The large (60s) ribosomal subunit, and the small (40s) ribosomal subunit (which are characteristic of eukaryotic cells) must be synthesized in which of the following organelles?
A. the peroxisome B. the Golgi apparatus C. the lysosome D. the chloroplast E. the nucleus
Answer =
The large (60s) ribosomal subunit, and the small (40s) ribosomal subunit (which are characteristic of eukaryotic cells) must be synthesized in following organelles
E.Nucleus
Explanation = The synthesis of ribosome takes place in nucleus in case of eukaryotic cells.
the large (60S) and small (40S) ribosomal subunits are synthesized particulary in the nucleolus , which is part of nucleus.
The nucleolus which is found in nucleus, contains condensed region of chromatin where ribosome synthesis takes place.
In nucleolus the large ans small ribosomal subunits are synthesized by wrapping the rRNAs with ribosomal proteins.
Hence the correct answer is Nucleus.
