Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Nucleoli are responsible for synthesizing subunits that will be assembled into two-part ribosomes in the cytoplasm.

Answer: B
 Proteins are assembled in the primary cellular organelles known as ribosomes, not nucleoli.

Answer: H
 The genetic material that encodes hereditary information is located in the nucleus, but specifically in the chromatin (DNA and associated proteins), not nucleoli.

Answer: I
 The spindle fibers of the cell attach to the chromosomes in the nucleolus and help distribute them to new cells during cell division.

Answer: F
 Nucleic acids, specifically ribonucleic acid (RNA), participate in protein synthesis, but not nucleoli specifically.

Therefore, the choices A, C, D, G, and J are incorrect.
