Which of the following contains 3 different RNA molecules?
(a) the prokaryote 30S ribosomal subunit
(b) the eukaryote 40S ribosomal subunit
(c) the prokaryote 50S ribosomal subunit
(d) the eukaryote 60S ribosomal subunit
(e) all of the above
The eukaryotic 60S ribosomal subunit or the large subunit contains 3 different RNA molecules namely, 28S ,5S and 5.8S RNA.So option d is correct.
In case of option a and b which are small subunits of the ribosome only 1 RNA namely 16S and 18S are present and in case of option C 2 molecules namely 23 S and 5 S RNA are only present.
