The prokaryotes have both 70s and 80S ribosomes.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Ribosome Types**: - Ribosomes are cellular structures responsible for protein synthesis. They are classified based on their sedimentation rate, measured in Svedberg units (S). - Prokaryotes have ribosomes that are classified as 70S, while eukaryotes have ribosomes classified as 80S. 2. **Identifying the Composition of Ribosomes**: - The 70S ribosome in prokaryotes is composed of two subunits: a larger 50S subunit and a smaller 30S subunit. - The 80S ribosome in eukaryotes is composed of a larger 60S subunit and a smaller 40S subunit. 3. **Clarifying the Statement**: - The statement in the question claims that prokaryotes have both 70S and 80S ribosomes. This is incorrect. - Prokaryotes exclusively have 70S ribosomes, while eukaryotes possess 80S ribosomes. 4. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, the statement that "the prokaryotes have both 70S and 80S ribosomes" is false. Prokaryotes only have 70S ribosomes.
