Yes, rDNA does form ribosomal subunits. This occurs inside the nuclear membrane at an area called the nucleolus. Two subunits are formed consisting of a small (40S) and a large (60S) subunit. These subunits are then leave the nucleus and assemble in the cytoplasm or on the Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum.

Is DNA produce in the ribosomes?
Ribosomal DNA (rDNA)
The ribosome is an intracellular organelle that produces
proteins or polypeptide chains. The ribosome itself consists of a
composite of proteins and rRNA. As shown in the figure, rDNA
consists of a tandem repeat of a unit segment, an operon, composed
of NTS, ETS, 18S, ITS1, 5.8S, ITS2, and 28S tracts.

Asked in Biology
How are ribosomes different from enzymes?
All enzymes are proteins but ribosomes are not proteins.
Ribosomes are made up of a form of RNA, called ribosomal RNA.
Asked in Cell Biology (cytology)
Where are ribosomes located in a cell?
There are two places that ribosomes usually exist in the cell:
suspended in the cytosol and bound to theendoplasmic reticulum.
These ribosomes are called free ribosomes and bound ribosomes
respectively. In both cases, the ribosomes usually form aggregates
called polysomes.

Do ribosomes join fatty acids together to make lipids?
No, ribosomes join amino acids together to form proteins.
Asked in Microbiology, Genetics
Cells require what to form cilia or flagella?
Cells require centrosomes and ribosomes to form cilia or
flagella. The ribosomes are required for protein synthesis and the
centrosomes organize the structural components.
Asked in Cell Biology (cytology)
What organelle synthesizes proteins?
Ribosomes.
The only organelle that make proteins is ribosomes. DNA is the
genetic material that codes mRNA and proteins. mRNA binds to tRNA
and enzymes in ribosomes to form peptides from the amino acids.

What organelle builds ribosomes?
The Nucleolus produces the rRnas that, when exported to the
cytoplasm, are assembled - with many other co-factors - to form
ribosomes.
Asked in Biology, Zoology or Animal Biology, Microbiology
What role does ribosomes play in protein synthesis?
Ribosomes are the only structure with definite size and shape in
the cytoplasm. The ribosomes are the site at which amino acids are
linked together to form proteins. They are the site of protein
synthesis.
Asked in Plural Nouns

Asked in Microbiology, Cell Biology (cytology)
What is is the function of the ribosomes?
link amino acids together to form proteins
Asked in Biology, Genetics
Are Ribosomes the actual sites for the preparation of proteins and amino acid?
Yes. In ribosomes, the amino acids are attached to form a
polypeptide chain, which may be released for further configurations
to form a fully functional protein.
