Protein synthesis in an animal cell occurs
Options
- AOnly on the ribosomes present in cytosol
- BOnly on ribosomes attached to the nuclear envelope and endoplasmic reticulum
- COn ribosomes present in the nucleolus as well as in cytoplasm
- DOn ribosomes present in cytoplasm as well as in mitochondria
Correct answer
D. On ribosomes present in cytoplasm as well as in mitochondria
Step-by-step solution
Protein synthesis in a animal cell occurs on ribosomes present in cytoplasm as well as in mitcohondria because mitochondrie and chloroplast also have their own DNA, RNA and ribosome so can synthesize half of their required proteins.
