Solution
The correct option is A Increasing Mg++ concentration Ribosomes are of two basic types 70S and 80S ribosomes. The 30S and 50S subunits of a ribosome together make up a 70S ribosome. The 80S ribosomes consist of a large 60S subunit and a small 40S subunit. Metal ions chiefly, magnesium ions, play an important role in holding the two subunits together and also in maintaining the structure of the two subunits.
