NEET · Biology · STD 11 - 8. Cell the unit of life
Which one of the following is the site for active ribosomal RNA synthesis ?
- A Centrosome
- B Chromatin
- C Nucleolus
- D Kinetochore
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) Nucleolus
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
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.
Cells that are actively engaged in protein synthesis typically have larger and more numerous nucleoli.

- Given below are two statements :
Statement I : In the RNA world, RNA is considered the first genetic material evolved to carry out essential life processes. RNA acts as a genetic material and also as a catalyst for some important biochemical reactions in living systems. Being reactive, RNA is unstable.
Statement II: DNA evolved from RNA and is a more stable genetic material. Its double helical strands being complementary, resist changes by evolving repairing mechanism.
