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

Options

  1. ACentrosome
  2. BChromatin
  3. CNucleolus
  4. 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.
