Question

unit 4a: ls1.1, ls1.3, ls3.3
which two organelles in the cell must work together in the process of protein production?
○ the nucleus produces dna that directs protein production in the mitochondria.
○ the nucleus produces rna that directs protein production in the ribosomes.
○ the ribosomes produce amino acids that direct protein production in the mitochondria.
○ the ribosomes produce peptides that direct protein production in the nucleus.

Explanation:

Protein production starts with transcription in the nucleus, where DNA is used to make RNA (mRNA) that carries the genetic instructions for proteins. This RNA is then transported to ribosomes, which use the RNA's instructions to assemble amino acids into proteins. The other options are incorrect: the nucleus does not direct protein production in mitochondria, ribosomes do not produce amino acids (they use them) or direct production in the nucleus/mitochondria.

Answer:

The nucleus produces RNA that directs protein production in the ribosomes.
