Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
This structure produces protein in the cell.
A
Ribosomes
B
Cytoplasm
C
Nucleus
D
Lysosomes
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Explanation : Nucleolus is a darkly pigmented portion of nucleus . It produces rRNA which moves from there to cytoplasm and join with proteins to form ribosomes. So it concludes that nucleolus is the portion of cell which forms ribosomes.

Detailed explanation-2: -The endoplasmic reticulum can either be smooth or rough, and in general its function is to produce proteins for the rest of the cell to function. The rough endoplasmic reticulum has on it ribosomes, which are small, round organelles whose function it is to make those proteins.

Detailed explanation-3: -A ribosome is an intercellular structure made of both RNA and protein, and it is the site of protein synthesis in the cell. The ribosome reads the messenger RNA (mRNA) sequence and translates that genetic code into a specified string of amino acids, which grow into long chains that fold to form proteins.

Detailed explanation-4: -The nucleolus is a spherical structure found in the cell’s nucleus whose primary function is to produce and assemble the cell’s ribosomes. The nucleolus is also where ribosomal RNA genes are transcribed.

Detailed explanation-5: -Ribosomes are the primary sites of protein synthesis in cells. The translation is the process by which the mRNA is studied to synthesize proteins. Transfer RNAs (tRNA) are responsible for recruiting amino acids to match the mRNA. They carry amino acids to ribosomes and link them based on their complementary sequence.
