Which one of the following is the site for active ribosomal RNA synthesis ?

  1. Nucleolus
  2. Kinetochore
  3. Centrosome
  4. Chromatin

Answer

(1) Nucleolus

Solution

As per NCERT, the nucleus contains one or more spherical, non-membrane-bound bodies called nucleoli.

The nucleolus is the site for active ribosomal RNA (rRNA) synthesis; larger and more numerous nucleoli are present in cells actively carrying out protein synthesis.

∴ The site is the nucleolus.
