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 'I need help understanding this quote about recent Natural Selection'

I am reading Nicholas Wade's book A Troublesome Inheritance. Please let's not make this thread a critique about the merits or demerits of the book. This thread is my attempt to understanding the evidence that Natural Selection in the human genome was recent and regional. On Page 103 of A Troublesome Inheritance, Wade writes the following: "The regional nature of selection was first made evident in a genomewide scan undertaken by Jonathan Pritchard, a population geneticist at the...

Thread 'Fermentation using mixed legume and grain feedstock'

I use ethanol for cleaning glassware and resin 3D prints. The glassware is sometimes used for food. If possible, I'd prefer to only keep one grade of ethanol on hand. I've made sugar mash, but that is hardly the least expensive feedstock for ethanol. I had given some thought to using wheat flour, and for this I would need a source for amylase enzyme (relevant data, but not the core question). I am now considering animal feed that I have access to for 20 cents per pound. This is a...
