Question

Function of ER is/are
  1. Attachment site of ribosomes
  2. Storage of genetic material
  3. Removal of newly synthesized on RNA
  4. None of the above

A
Storage of genetic material
B
Removal of newly synthesized on RNA
C
Attachment site of ribosomes
D
None of the above
Solution
Verified by Toppr

Membranes of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) may bear ribosomes when the ER is called Granular or Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum. It is abundant in cells engaged in active secretion. The attachment between ribosomes and endoplasmic reticulum is through signal recognition particle or SRP linked to 60S subunit of ribosome and ribophorin present over the ER. Thus, the correct answer is option A.
