What statement is correct regarding the synthesis of actin monomers?     a)  They would be synthesized on free ribosomes, with a mitochondrial localization sequence that would be recognized by a receptor on the mitochondrial membrane.   b)  They would be synthesized on free ribosomes, with a nuclear localization sequence that would facilitate its passage through a nuclear pore.   c)  They would be synthesized on free ribosomes, with no signal sequence.   d)  They would have a signal sequence on its N terminus that would be recognized by a signal recognition particle (SRP) in the cytoplasm that would dock it on the endoplasmic reticulum.   e)  They would be synthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum, processed in the Golgi and sent to the nucleus in appropriated tagged vesicles.
