Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Where are the instructions for how to make a protein located in a cell?
A
Ribosomes
B
Nucleus
C
Mitochondria
D
Cytoplasm
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The type of RNA that contains the information for making a protein is called messenger RNA (mRNA) because it carries the information, or message, from the DNA out of the nucleus into the cytoplasm. Translation, the second step in getting from a gene to a protein, takes place in the cytoplasm.

Detailed explanation-2: -DNA or deoxyribonucleic acid is a long molecule that contains our unique genetic code. Like a recipe book it holds the instructions for making all the proteins in our bodies.

Detailed explanation-3: -In eukaryotes, ribosomes get their orders for protein synthesis from the nucleus, where portions of DNA (genes) are transcribed to make messenger RNAs (mRNAs). An mRNA travels to the ribosome, which uses the information it contains to build a protein with a specific amino acid sequence.

Detailed explanation-4: -The structure in the nucleus that stores the instructions for protein synthesis is DNA. DNA, deoxyribonucleic acid, is the genetic material of the cell. It contains the information for all protein structure in the sequence of its bases. There are four possible bases of DNA, adenine, guanine, cytosine and thymine.
