How many types of distinct ribosomal RNAs are present in eukaryotic ribosomes?(a) 1(b) 2(c) 3(d) 4I got this question in an online interview.The doubt is from Gene Expression topic in chapter Gene Expression of Cell Biology

Answer» CORRECT choice is (d) 4

The BEST explanation: Eukaryotic RIBOSOME or the 80S ribosome is made up of 2 unequal SUBUNITS(40S and 60S). The 40S subunit contains a 18S rRNA and the 60S subunit contains the 28S, 5S and the 5.8S rRNAs. Therefore the eukaryotic ribosomes have 4 rRNAs.
