Solution

Ribosomes

DNA is absent from ribosomes.

  1. A ribosome is an intracellular structure composed of RNA and protein that serves as the center of the cell's protein synthesis.
  2. Ribosomes are made up of two subunits. A ribosome is made up of RNA and protein,
  3. The larger component links mRNA and tRNA to form a polypeptide chain, while the smaller RNA subunit reads the RNA.
  4. DNA can only be found in the nucleus, mitochondria, and chloroplasts of a cell.

No, ribosomes do not contain DNA.
