Which one of the following is the site for active ribosomal RNA synthesis ?
Options
- ACentrosome
- BChromatin
- CNucleolus
- DKinetochore
Correct answer
C. Nucleolus
Step-by-step solution
The nucleolus is a dense, non-membrane bound structure located within the nucleus.
It is the primary site for the transcription and processing of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and the assembly of ribosomes.
Cells that are actively engaged in protein synthesis typically have larger and more numerous nucleoli.
