Protein synthesis in an animal cell occurs

Question

Protein synthesis in an animal cell occurs (A) Only on the ribosomes present in cytosol (B) Only on ribosomes attached to the nuclear envelope and endoplasmic reticulum (C) On ribosomes present in the nucleolus as well as in cytoplasm (D) On ribosomes present in cytoplasm as well as in mitochondria

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Protein synthesis in an animal cell occurs on ribosomes present in the cytoplasm as well as in mitochondria because these organelles are semi-autonomous, having their own DNA, RNA, and ribosome, and can synthesise half of their required proteins.
