Ribosomes are produced in:
- Mitochondria
- Golgi body
- Nucleolus
- Cytoplasm
Answer
(3) Nucleolus
Solution
As per NCERT, the nucleoli are sites for active ribosomal RNA synthesis.
⇒ In the nucleolus, rRNA is synthesised and assembled with ribosomal proteins into the ribosomal subunits.
∴ Ribosomes are produced in the nucleolus; the subunits then pass to the cytoplasm through nuclear pores.
