Question
the mrna leaves the _________ to find the ribosome to make proteins. nucleus nucleotide cell mitochondrion
mRNA (messenger RNA) is synthesized in the nucleus during transcription. After synthesis, it needs to exit the nucleus to reach the ribosomes (which are located in the cytoplasm) for protein - synthesis (translation). A nucleotide is a building block of nucleic acids (like DNA and RNA), not a location. The cell is too broad a term as it is the overall structure, and the mitochondrion is the site of cellular respiration (not the origin point for mRNA to go to ribosomes).
