1. The cellular structure responsible for organizing ribosomal RNA synthesis and initial ribosome subunit assembly is the

A. Rough endoplasmic reticulum
B. Golgi complex
C. Nucleolus
✓
D. Nuclear pore complex

📝 Explanation

The nucleolus is a dense region within the nucleus dedicated to the transcription of rRNA and structural assembly of ribosomal subunits. The RER and Golgi handle subsequent protein processing, not the synthesis of ribosomes.
