Ribosomes are organelles **where proteins are produced**. They play a crucial role in the process of translation, where messenger RNA (mRNA) is translated into proteins. Ribosomes can be found freely floating in the cytoplasm or attached to the endoplasmic reticulum (forming rough ER).

The other options you provided do not accurately describe the function or nature of ribosomes:

- The nucleus is an organelle in which ribosomes are not located; rather, ribosomes are produced in the nucleolus, a structure within the nucleus.
- Chromatin refers to the material that makes up chromosomes, which contain genetic material (DNA), but it is not made in ribosomes.
- Ribosomes do not contain genetic material; rather, they use the information from mRNA to synthesize proteins.

In summary, ribosomes specifically function in protein synthesis.
