Question

How is the nucleus involved in the production of enzymes? A. The nucleus translates the ribosomal RNA for the enzymes to be synthesized in mitochondria. B. The nucleus is involved in the packaging and transportation of enzymes outside of the cell. C. The nucleus receives the messenger RNA and is the site where enzymes are synthesized. D. The nucleus transcribes and releases messenger RNA signaling for the enzymes to be synthesized.

Answer 1

The correct answer is D. The nucleus transcribes and releases messenger RNA signalling for the enzymes to be synthesized.

The nucleus is the site of transcription, production of messenger RNA (mRNA). Because of that, it contains a lot of proteins that either directly are involved in transcription or are involved in regulation. mRNA is exported from the nucleus, after being post-transcriptional modified.
