UCP1, the uncoupling protein located in the inner mitochondrial membrane, is encoded by a gene in the nucleus of the cell, rather than being encoded in the mitochondrial genome. Indeed, relatively few mitochondrial proteins are produced from mitochondrial DNA, and most mitochondrial proteins are produced from DNA in the nucleus of the cell. Where in the cell will the UCP1 protein be synthesized? A. in the cytoplasm, by free cytoplasmic ribosomes B. by ribosomes in the nucleus of the cell C. by ribosomes docked to the endoplasmic reticulum D. by ribosomes located in the mitochondria
