What is true about ribosomes?

  1. A
    These are self-splicing introns of some RNAs
  2. B
    The prokaryotic ribosomes are , where “S” stands for sedimentation coefficient
  3. C
    These are composed of ribonucleic acid and proteins
  4. D
    These are found only in eukaryotic cells

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Ribosomes are small, dense, granular organelles. They are chemically composed of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and proteins. They are found in both prokaryotes () and eukaryotes ( in cytoplasm, in organelles). "S" (Svedberg unit) indeed stands for the sedimentation coefficient.
