Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What organelle is the site of translation?
A
Nucleus
B
Ribosome
C
Mitochondria
D
Chloroplast
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Nucleolus is the site of ribosome synthesis. Note:Nucleolus is a special dense region in the eukaryotic cell. It is composed of RNA and protein.

Detailed explanation-2: -Where Translation Occurs. Within all cells, the translation machinery resides within a specialized organelle called the ribosome.

Detailed explanation-3: -The rough endoplasmic reticulum has on it ribosomes, which are small, round organelles whose function it is to make those proteins.

Detailed explanation-4: -Translation Translation takes place on ribosomes in the cell cytoplasm, where mRNA is read and translated into the string of amino acid chains that make up the synthesized protein.

Detailed explanation-5: -Ribosomes and Endoplasmic Reticulum Ribosomes are the organelles responsible for protein translation and are composed of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and proteins. Some ribosomes are found in the cytoplasm, a gel-like substance that organelles float in and some are found in the rough endoplasmic reticulum.
