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 .
- Correct answerA$\mathrm{A}, \mathrm{B}, \mathrm{C}$ are true
- B$\mathrm{A}, \mathrm{B}, \mathrm{D}$ are true
- C$\mathrm{A}, \mathrm{B}, \mathrm{E}$ are true
- D$B, D, E$ are true
Solution
The eukaryotic ribosomes are 80S and prokaryotic ribosomes are 70S type.
Each ribosome has two sub-units.
The two sub-units of 80S ribosome are 60S and 40S while that of 70S are 50S and 30S .
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
