Answer: They receive their “orders” for protein synthesis from the nucleus where the DNA is transcribed into messenger RNA (mRNA).

Explanation: This mRNA travels to the ribosomes, which translate the code provided by the sequence of the nitrogenous bases in the mRNA into a specific order of amino acids in a protein.
