Detailed explanation-1: -The process of protein synthesis occurs in ribosomes. Ribosomes are either floating freely in the cytoplasm or found attached to the endoplasmic reticulum.
Detailed explanation-2: -The nucleolus is a ribosome production factory, designed to fulfill the need for large-scale production of rRNAs and assembly of the ribosomal subunits.
Detailed explanation-3: -The ribosome is universally responsible for synthesizing proteins by translating the genetic code transcribed in mRNA into an amino acid sequence.
Detailed explanation-4: -Ribosomes are found ‘free’ in the cytoplasm or bound to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to form rough ER. In a mammalian cell there can be as many as 10 million ribosomes. Several ribosomes can be attached to the same mRNA strand, this structure is called a polysome.
