Which of the following represents the correct subunits of the ribosomes found in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells?
Options
- A50S and 30S
- B60S and 40S
- C40S and 30S
- D60S and 50S
Correct answer
B. 60S and 40S
Step-by-step solution
Eukaryotic cells contain 80S ribosomes in their cytoplasm. The 80S ribosome is composed of two subunits: a larger 60S subunit and a smaller 40S subunit. Prokaryotic cells contain 70S ribosomes, which are made of 50S and 30S subunits. Answer: 60S and 40S
