How do the nucleus and ribosomes work together?
a
The nucleus creates proteins and lipids that the ribosomes then transport to other organelles.
b
The ribosomes perform chemical reactions that supply the nucleus with needed nutrients.
c
The ribosomes build proteins based on the genetic instructions they receive from the nucleus.
d
The nucleus sorts and distributes the genetic information it receives from the ribosomes.

The correct answer is:
c. The ribosomes build proteins based on the genetic instructions they receive from the nucleus.
In eukaryotic cells, the nucleus contains the cell's DNA, which includes the genetic instructions for making proteins. Ribosomes read the messenger RNA (mRNA) produced from the DNA and translate it into proteins. Therefore, the nucleus and ribosomes work together in the process of protein synthesis.
