Q. From the statements given below choose the correct option: 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
A) A, B, C are true
B) A, B, D are true
C) A, B, E are true
D) B, D, E are true
Explanation
[Solution by Claude - not from source] 80S = 60S + 40S and 70S = 50S + 30S. Statements A, B, C are true; D and E give wrong subunit sizes. Answer (1).
