Hey, everyone. Let's take a look at this question together. This structure is involved in the production and assembly of the cells ribosomes. Is it answer choice. A the nucleus. Answer choice B the nucleolus, answer choice C the endoplasmic reticulum or answer choice D the mitochondria. Let's work this problem out together to try to figure out which of the following answer. Choices is the location for the production and assembly of the cell's ribosomes. So in order to solve this question, we have to recall what each of the following answer choices is responsible for to determine which answer. Choice contains the location of the site of the production and assembly of the cell's ribosomes. And we know that the production and the assembly of the cells ribosomes involves the use of ribosome RN A also known as RRN A. And we know that ribosome RN A or RRN A, specifically RRN A transcription and processing takes place in the nucleolus, which we know the nucleolus is also the site of ribosome assembly. So answer choice B nucleolus is the correct answer. And all other answer choices are incorrect since the nucleolus is the structure involved in the production and assembly of the cells ribosomes. Thanks to our RN A transcription and processing which takes place in the nucleolus. I hope you found this video to be helpful. Thank you and goodbye.
