The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks for the site of formation of immature ribosomal subunits in a eukaryotic cell. 2. **Identifying the Options**: The options provided are: - a) Nucleus - b) Nucleus (repeated) - c) Nuclear pore complex - d) Cytoplasm 3. **Analyzing Each Option**: - **Cytoplasm**: This is primarily where mature ribosomes are found, especially on the rough endoplasmic reticulum. Therefore, this option is not correct for immature ribosomal subunits. - **Nuclear Pore Complex**: This structure facilitates the transport of molecules between the nucleus and cytoplasm but is not the site of ribosomal subunit formation. Thus, this option is also incorrect. - **Nucleus**: While the nucleus is involved in the formation of ribosomal components, it is not the specific site where immature ribosomal subunits are formed. - **Nucleolus**: This is a distinct region within the nucleus that is non-membranous and is specifically responsible for the transcription of ribosomal RNA (rRNA). This rRNA combines with proteins to form the immature ribosomal subunits. 4. **Conclusion**: The correct answer is the **Nucleolus**, as it is the site of formation of immature ribosomal subunits in a eukaryotic cell. **Final Answer**: Nucleolus ---
