Question

question 1 of 12 how do the nucleus and ribosomes work together to generate a protein? ribosomes produce mrna that migrates into the nucleus and uses a gene in the dna as instructions to synthesize a specific protein. the segment of dna that contains a gene leaves the nucleus and is used by the ribosomes as instructions to synthesize a protein. in the nucleus, an mrna copy of a gene is produced, which ribosomes use as instructions to synthesize a specific protein. ribosomes migrate into the nucleus, attach to a gene in the dna, and use the gene as a transcript to synthesize a specific protein.

Explanation:

Transcription occurs in the nucleus where an mRNA copy of a gene is made from DNA. Then, this mRNA travels to ribosomes which use it as instructions to synthesize a protein through translation. Ribosomes don't produce mRNA, DNA doesn't leave the nucleus to go to ribosomes, and ribosomes don't enter the nucleus to use DNA directly.

Answer:

In the nucleus, an mRNA copy of a gene is produced, which ribosomes use as instructions to synthesize a specific protein.
