From the statements given below choose the correct ones about ribosomes:
A. The eukaryotic ribosomes are 80S and
prokaryotic ribosomes are 70S.
B. Each ribosome has two sub-units
C. The two sub-units of 80S ribosome are 60S
and 40S while that of 70S are 50S and 30S
D. The two sub - units of 80S ribosome are 60S
and 20S and that of 70S are 50S and 20S
E. The two sub-units of 80S are 60S and 30S and
that of 70S are 50S and 30S
Options
- A, B, C are true
- A, B, D are true
- A, B, E are true
- B, D, E are true
Correct Answer
A, B, C are true
Explanation
Eukaryotic ribosomes are 80S (60S + 40S) and prokaryotic ribosomes are 70S (50S + 30S). Each ribosome has two subunits.
