Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What structure is found in the nucleus and is responsible for the production of new ribosomes?
A
nucleolus
B
Golgi complex
C
chromosomes
D
nucleus
Explanation: 

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 the most prominent structure in a cell nucleus. It is the site of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) transcription, pre-rRNA processing and ribosome subunit assembly.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -The nucleolus is the largest nuclear organelle and is the primary site of ribosome subunit biogenesis in eukaryotic cells. It is assembled around arrays of ribosomal DNA genes, forming specific chromosomal features known as nucleolar organizing regions (NORs) which are the sites of ribosomal DNA transcription.

Detailed explanation-5: -The Nucleolus is referred to as the storage of proteins and RNA in the nucleolus. The Nucleus is a site for transcription in which messenger RNA is produced for protein synthesis. The nucleus functions as the exchange of hereditary molecules that is RNA and DNA between the nucleus and the rest of the cell.
