- The organelle responsible for producing proteins using the coded instructions from the nucleus is the ribosome.
- Ribosomes are cellular structures where protein synthesis occurs. They read the genetic information encoded in the DNA molecules located in the nucleus and transcribed into messenger RNA (mRNA). This mRNA carries the genetic code or instructions to the ribosomes.
- During protein synthesis, ribosomes "read" the mRNA and use the information to assemble amino acids in the correct order, following the instructions encoded in the mRNA. This process leads to the formation of specific proteins according to the sequence dictated by the DNA in the nucleus.
