AI Thread Summary
Ribosomes function primarily as the site of mRNA translation, facilitating protein synthesis by assembling amino acids into proteins. Nucleoli play a crucial role in controlling the activity of the nucleus by serving as the site where rRNA genes from chromosomes aggregate with ribosomal subunits. The nucleolus is considered a suborganelle of the cell nucleus, and nucleolar organizers are specific chromosome regions that contain multiple copies of rRNA-encoding genes. After rRNA synthesis, it combines with ribosomal subunits in the nucleus before being transported through nuclear pores into the cytosol for protein biosynthesis.

what is the function of ribosome,?
 
Biology news on Phys.org
The main function of ribosomes is to serve as the site of mRNA translation ( = protein synthesis, the assembly of amino acids into proteins);
 
Wat about nucleoli?
 
it controls the activity of the nucleus
 
how do nucleoli control the activity of nucleus?
I guess nucleoli is a place where rRNA genes of chromosomes get together with ribosomal subunits
 
In biology, the nucleolus is, strictly speaking, a suborganelle of a cell nucleus which is an organelle Nucleolar organizers are special regions on some chromosomes that contain multiple copies of the genes encoding for rRNA the ribosomes which are involved in protein biosynthesis. Following synthesis, the rRNA is attached to the ribosomal subunits in the nucleus before transport through the nuclear pores
into the cytosol.

Thread 'Did they discover another descendant of homo erectus?'

The study provides critical new insights into the African Humid Period, a time between 14,500 and 5,000 years ago when the Sahara desert was a green savanna, rich in water bodies that facilitated human habitation and the spread of pastoralism. Later aridification turned this region into the world's largest desert. Due to the extreme aridity of the region today, DNA preservation is poor, making this pioneering ancient DNA study all the more significant. Genomic analyses reveal that the...
