Question Detail
Question
& make up ribosomes: a. proteins & DNA b. proteins & mRNA c. proteins & rRNA d. lipids & proteins
Correct Answer
Option C is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
Ribosomes are complex molecular machines composed of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and ribosomal proteins. rRNA provides the structural scaffold and catalytic activity for protein synthesis, while proteins stabilize the structure. mRNA carries the genetic code but is not a structural part of the ribosome.
Hint
The 'r' in rRNA stands for ribosomal – it's a key structural and functional component.
