Question

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