Ribosomes are chemically composed of which of the following?

Correct answer: D. Both A and C

  • A. Protein
  • B. DNA
  • C. RNA
  • D. Both A and C

Explanation

Ribosomes are complex macromolecular structures composed of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and proteins, forming a ribonucleoprotein complex. Option D is correct because it acknowledges both components. Options A and C are incorrect as they only account for one of the two components individually, and Option B is incorrect because DNA is not a component of ribosomes.
