Match the following terms with the descriptions below (letters may be used once or not at all).
-Structure in nucleus where ribosomes are assembled

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The nucleolus is the structure in the nucleus where ribosomes are assembled.

Answer: P
 The spliceosome is a complex of proteins and RNA molecules that removes introns from pre-mRNA during mRNA processing.

Answer: D
 mRNA (messenger RNA) is the type of RNA that carries the genetic information from DNA to ribosomes during translation.

Answer: E
 tRNA (transfer RNA) is the type of RNA that carries amino acids to the ribosome during translation, and has an anticodon that matches a codon in the mRNA.

Answer: G
 Pyrimidines are a type of nitrogenous base in DNA and RNA, including cytosine and thymine in DNA, and cytosine and uracil in RNA.

Answer: J,K
 Introns are non-coding segments of DNA that are removed from pre-mRNA during mRNA processing, while exons are the coding segments of DNA that are spliced together to form the mature mRNA.

Answer: N
 Ribosomes are the structures where proteins are synthesized during translation, and are composed of RNA and protein.

Note: Many of the other terms listed are also important to the process of gene expression, but do not directly relate to the structure of the nucleus or the assembly of ribosomes.
