Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
DNA can’t leave the ____
A
ribosome
B
cytoplasm
C
mitochondria
D
nucleus
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Eukaryotic DNA never leaves the nucleus; instead, it’s transcribed (copied) into RNA molecules, which may then travel out of the nucleus. In the cytosol, some RNAs associate with structures called ribosomes, where they direct synthesis of proteins.

Detailed explanation-2: -DNA does not leave the nucleus. Instead, messenger RNA is used to retrieve the information from nucleus for the production of proteins outside the nucleus. The messenger RNA is a “copy” of the information contained in specific sequences of DNA.

Detailed explanation-3: -By housing the cell’s genome, the nucleus serves both as the repository of genetic information and as the cell’s control center. DNA replication, transcription, and RNA processing all take place within the nucleus, with only the final stage of gene expression (translation) localized to the cytoplasm.

Detailed explanation-4: -DNA housed in the nucleus provides all the instructions for encoding the proteins needed by the organism. Losing the nucleus would cause mayhem inside the cell. Without a clear set of instructions, the typical somatic cell would have no idea what to do next.
