Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which part of the cell contains the coded instructions for making proteins?
A
Chromatin (DNA)
B
Nucleus
C
Ribosomes
D
Smooth ER
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The type of RNA that contains the information for making a protein is called messenger RNA (mRNA) because it carries the information, or message, from the DNA out of the nucleus into the cytoplasm.

Detailed explanation-2: -Genes are small sections of DNA within the genome that code for proteins. They contain the instructions for our individual characteristics – like eye and hair colour.

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. Inside the nucleus, chromatin (DNA wrapped around proteins, described further below) is stored in a gel-like substance called nucleoplasm.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Nucleus The nucleus is the control center of the cell. The nucleus contains nearly all of the DNA in the cell and, with it, the coded instructions for making proteins and other important molecules.

Detailed explanation-5: -The nucleus contains nearly all the cell’s DNA and with it the coded instructions for making proteins and other important molecules.
