Question

Assertion (A): Ribosomes are the factories of cells for protein synthesis.

Reason (R): Building materials of ribosomes are manufactured in nucleolus(RNA) and cytoplasm (proteins).

Options

• Both A and R are true and R is correct explanation of the assertion.

• Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

• A is true but R is false.

• A is false but R is true.

Answer 1

Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

Explanation:

Both statements are true: ribosomes synthesize proteins, and their RNA and protein components are produced in the nucleolus and cytoplasm, respectively. But this describes how ribosomal components are made; it does not explain the ribosome’s role in protein synthesis.
