Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Where is the location of protein synthesis in the cell?
A
Mitochondria
B
Ribosome
C
Nucleus
D
Cytoplasm
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A ribosome is an intercellular structure made of both RNA and protein, and it is the site of protein synthesis in the cell. The ribosome reads the messenger RNA (mRNA) sequence and translates that genetic code into a specified string of amino acids, which grow into long chains that fold to form proteins.

Detailed explanation-2: -Synthesis of new proteins starts in the nucleus, where ribosomes get their instruction to begin the process. Sections of DNA (genes), encoding a specific protein, are copied over to messenger RNA (mRNA) strands in a process called transcription.

Detailed explanation-3: -Protein synthesis occurs in the cytoplasm on ribonucleoprotein particles, the ribosomes.

Detailed explanation-4: -Ribosome synthesis is a highly complex and coordinated process that occurs not only in the nucleolus but also in the nucleoplasm and the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells.
