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.
