Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The primary function of the nucleolus is in facilitating ribosome biogenesis, through the processing and assembly of rRNA into preribosomal particles.
Detailed explanation-2: -The main function of nucleolus is to produce and assemble subunits which form the ribosome.
Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -The nucleolus is responsible for the production of ribosomes.
