Question

rRNA present in 60 S subunit of ribosome is

• A. 5 S
• B. 5.8 S
• C. 28 S
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is D All of the above

• In a eukaryotic cell, the ribosome is 80S with a smaller subunit of 40S and a larger subunit of 60S type.
  
• The 40S subunit has an 18S RNA with 1900 nucleotides and 33 proteins.
• Whereas, the 60S subunit is made up of 5S RNA with 120 nucleotides, 28S RNA with 4700 nucleotides, 5.8S RNA with 160 nucleotides and 46 proteins.
• So, the correct answer is 'All the above'.
