Question

The diagram shows a cross section of a eukaryotic cell.

How do the nucleus and ribosomes work together?



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

Answer 1

The correct answer is:

**a. The ribosomes build proteins based on the genetic instructions they receive from the nucleus.**

In a eukaryotic cell, the nucleus contains the cell's genetic material (DNA) and provides the instructions for building proteins. Ribosomes then use these instructions, often in the form of messenger RNA (mRNA) that is transcribed from DNA, to assemble amino acids into proteins.
