Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What does the Nucleolus do?
A
Protects the Cell
B
Makes food
C
Creates ribosomes
D
Releases the energy for the cell
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -At the nucleolus, a long ribosomal RNA (rRNA) precursor molecule is transcribed from DNA, processed into three mature RNAs, and packaged together with specific proteins to make the large and small ribosomal subunits.

Detailed explanation-3: -The primary function of the nucleolus is in facilitating ribosome biogenesis, through the processing and assembly of rRNA into preribosomal particles.

Detailed explanation-4: -The nucleolus is a spherical structure found in the cell’s nucleus whose primary function is to produce and assemble the cell’s ribosomes. The nucleolus is also where ribosomal RNA genes are transcribed.

Detailed explanation-5: -Answer and Explanation: The nucleus and ribosomes work together to create a protein through the process of transcription and translation. The nucleus is the organelle that holds the DNA for cells. Transcription occurs in the nucleus, where RNA polymerase copies DNA to messenger RNA (mRNA).
