containing variable sequences of nucleotides. Nucleotides consist of a
nitrogenous base and a phosphate group attached to a sugar molecule. The
presence of nucleotides does not provide DNA molecules the unique ability to
replicate.

1 This is incorrect. The protein is initially manufactured in the ribosome. This
protein is referred to as preprohormone, which contains a single peptide.
2 This is correct. The conversion of prohormone into hormone takes place in the
Golgi apparatus. The prohormone is processed and then converted into the
actual hormone. The actual hormone is secreted by the endocrine gland’s cells.
3 This is incorrect. The secretory granule is present in the Golgi apparatus. The
completed hormone is stored in the secretory granule.
4 This is incorrect. The preprohormone contains a single peptide, which directs its
transfer to the endoplasNmUiRc SreIticNuGluTmB. .TCheOsMingle peptide of the pre-prohormone
is removed when it is transferred from ribosome to endoplasmic reticulum.

1 This is correct. The nucleus is the master mind of a cell. It contains the body’s
genetic material, which regulates all cell structures and functions.
2 This is incorrect. Ribosomes are small, spherical organelles composed of
ribosomal ribonucleic acid. They are called the “protein factories” of the cell.
3 This is incorrect. The synthesized proteins from ribosomes are transported to the
Golgi apparatus through the endoplasmic reticulum. Proteins are processed,
packaged, and secreted by the Golgi apparatus.
