Question

How does the ribosome know which protein to make?

Answer 1

The nucleus is the powerhouse of the cell, the nucleus tells the ribosome to make certain proteins

Answer 2

Messenger RNA (mRNA) molecules are long strands of RNA nucleotides that directribosomes to make proteins. They travel from the nucleus to the ribosome. Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) molecules make up part of the ribosomes of the cell in the cytoplasm. Transfer RNA (tRNA) molecules transport amino acids to the ribosomes.
