Which one of the following is not an inclusion body found in prokaryotes?
Correct answer: B. Polysome
- A. Glycogen granule
- B. Polysome
- C. Phosphate granule
- D. Cyanophycean granule
Explanation
Polysomes, or polyribosomes, are clusters of ribosomes translating mRNA into proteins and are not considered inclusion bodies. Therefore, they are not typical of prokaryotic inclusion bodies.
