Nucleoli function in the production of
A) peroxisomes.
B) secretory vesicles.
C) RNA for ribosomes.
D) DNA that controls all cell functions.
E) proteins.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Nucleoli are responsible for the production of RNA that forms the structural and functional components of ribosomes. Ribosomes, in turn, synthesize proteins. Therefore, nucleoli function in the production of RNA for ribosomes. The other options are incorrect because peroxisomes are produced by the endoplasmic reticulum, secretory vesicles arise from the Golgi apparatus, DNA controls cell functions through gene expression, and protein synthesis occurs at ribosomes, which are produced by nucleoli.
