Which of the following are ideal subjects for the study of rRNA synthesis and processing?(a) spermatocytes(b) mitochondria(c) oocytes(d) amphibiansThis question was addressed to me in an online quiz.This interesting question is from Gene Expression topic in chapter Gene Expression of Cell Biology

Answer»

Correct option is (c) oocytes

To explain I would say: Oocytes are the ideal CANDIDATES for the STUDY of rRNA synthesis and PROCESSING. Amplification of rDNA is required by the fertilized egg to begin embryonic development; therefore oocytes contain HUNDREDS of nucleoli that actively manufacture ribosomal RNA.
