D)lipid synthesis.
E)uncoiling and unraveling of chromosomes.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The nucleolus is responsible for the assembly of ribosomes. It is rich in RNA and proteins, which are the main components of ribosomes. Protein synthesis occurs in the cytoplasm, not in the nucleolus. Chromosome replication occurs in the nucleus, but not specifically in the nucleolus. Lipid synthesis occurs in other organelles such as the smooth endoplasmic reticulum. The nucleolus is not involved in uncoiling and unraveling of chromosomes, but rather in the formation of ribosomal subunits.
