Question

As you look under a microscope you see a nucleus with a large density of nucleolus. What inference can you make about that cell? As you look under a microscope you see a nucleus with a large density of nucleolus. What inference can you make about that cell? The cell is producing a large amount of proteins. The cell is preparing to divide. The cell has a large energy demand. The cell is preparing for autophagy.

Answer 1

The cell is preparing to divide.

Step-by-step explanation:

The nucleolus is a region that can be seen inside the nucleus and has a round shape. The nucleolus consists mainly of ribosomal RNA and proteins. This RNA is synthesized from DNA instructions. Some cells have two or more nucleoli, this number being related to the cell type and its reproductive stage. When a cell has a high density of nucleoli we can conclude that this cell is entering the reproductive process, that is, it is preparing to divide.

Answer 2

The correct answer is: The cell is producing a large amount of proteins.

The nucleolus is the largest structure in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells with the main function in ribosome biogenesis. It includes the steps of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) transcription, pre-rRNA processing and ribosome subunit assembly.
