(d) Proteins in the chloroplast are synthesized in the cytosol and in the chloroplast. The chloroplast proteins that are encoded by the nuclear DNA are synthesized in the cytosol, and the sorting signals on the protein direct them to the chloroplast. The chloroplast proteins encoded by the chloroplast DNA are synthesized on ribosomes inside the chloroplast.
