The enzyme that performs the light-generating reaction in fireflies is called luciferase. Luciferase is a single polypeptide cha
Mkey [24]

Answer:

The correct answer to the question is: 1) free in the cytoplasm.

Explanation:

  • Ribosomes are responsible for synthesising polypeptide chains by the process of translation from mRNA or messenger Ribonucleic Acid.
  • They are found free in the cytoplasm or remain bound to the Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) to form the Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (RER).
  • The cytoplasmic proteins are synthesised by the free ribosomes.
  • The membrane proteins, secretory proteins and the organelle specific proteins are synthesised by the Ribosomes located on the Endoplasmic Reticulum.
  • This is because these proteins need to be translocated to the target organs through vesicles that buds out of the ER and and the Golgi bodies.
  • As the luciferase polypeptide is located in the cytoplasm, it is synthesised by the free ribosomes present in the cytoplasm.
