Solution

The correct option is B Ribosomes
  • Polymorphism is the occurrence of two or more clearly different morphs or forms.
  • Polymorphism is seen in ribosomes because ribosomes occur in two forms . They are 70s ribosomes and 80sribosomes.
  • The 70S ribosome(prokaryotic ribosome) is made up of a 50S and 30S subunits. and the 80s ribosomes(eukaryotic ribosome) are made up of 60s and 40s subunits.
  • Hence Polymorphism is seen in ribosomes.
  • So, the correct answer is 'ribosomes.
