It said in the kaplan book that rRNA is produced in the nucleolis and tRNA is produced in the cytoplam. i know rRNA is PROCESSED in the nucleolis and tRNA FUNCTIONS in the cytoplasm but isn't produced the same as synthesized?? if so, isn't all RNA synthesized in the nucleus??

i was under the impression that both rRNA and tRNA are produced in the nucleolus...

just know that ribosomes are made in the nucleolus, which themselves are composed mostly of rRNA (and proteins)

Nucleolus - rRNA - structural support of the mRNA during translation, two subunits which arent important to know....
Nucleous - mRNA - contains transcribed dna's sequence and gets translated
Nucleous - tRNA - shuttels in amino acids building the polypeptide chain
