Question

Assembly of 60 S and 40 S subunits of ribosome produces
A. 80 S
B. 70 S
C. 50 S
D. 100 S​

Answer 1

Answer:

A. 80 S

Explanation:

The assembly of 60 S and 40 S subunits of ribosome produces 80S ribosomes.

It is the characteristic of a eukaryotic cell.

80S ribosomes are found in the nucleus of a eukaryotic cell.

The smaller subunit (40S) has an 18S RNA with 1900 nucleotides and 33 proteins.

The larger subunit (60S) has 5S RNA with 120 nucleotides, 28S RNA with 4700 nucleotides, a 5.8S RNA with 160 nucleotides subunits and 46 proteins.

So, the correct answer is '80 S'.
