Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -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-3: -Eukaryote ribosomes are produced and assembled in the nucleolus. Ribosomal proteins enter the nucleolus and combine with the four rRNA strands to create the two ribosomal subunits (one small and one large) that will make up the completed ribosome (see Figure 1).

Detailed explanation-4: -Ribosomes are mostly constructed in the cell nucleus, but the final stages of assembly occur in the cytoplasm of the cell.

Detailed explanation-5: -The nucleolus is composed of RNA and proteins, which form around specific chromosomal regions. It is one of the main components of the nucleus. The chain of RNA and DNA along with other components form the structural components.
