EVERYDAY SCIENCE

Detailed explanation-1: -The nucleus (plural, nuclei) houses the cell’s genetic material, or DNA, and is also the site of synthesis for ribosomes, the cellular machines that assemble proteins.

Detailed explanation-2: -Ribosomes are the protein builders or the protein synthesizers of the cell. They are like construction guys who connect one amino acid at a time and build long chains. Ribosomes are special because they are found in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes.

Detailed explanation-3: -In prokaryotes, protein synthesis, the process of making protein, occurs in the cytoplasm and is made of two steps: transcription and translation. In transcription, sections of DNA called operons are transcribed to mRNA in the cytoplasm by RNA polymerase.

Detailed explanation-4: -Ribosomes are found in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.

Detailed explanation-5: -Ribosome biogenesis is the process of making ribosomes. In prokaryotes, this process takes place in the cytoplasm with the transcription of many ribosome gene operons. In eukaryotes, it takes place both in the cytoplasm and in the nucleolus.
