Question

Which type of ribosome is present in Mitochondria of Eukaryotes?

Answer 1

Ribosomes in mitochondria:

1. Mitochondria is an organelle present only in the eukaryotic cells.
   
2. The ​eukaryotic cells generally contain the 80S type of ribosome in the endoplasmic reticulum and as free ribosome in the cytoplasm.
   
3. Mitochondria is an organelle containing its independent genetic material called the extrachromosomal DNA.
   
4. For the expression of genes present in the mitochondrial DNA, specific ribosomes are present in the mitochondria.
5. The ribosomes in the mitochondria are 70S type of ribosomes similar to that of the prokaryotic ribosomes.
