Question
RNA is a polymer of(A) glycosides(B) ribonucleosides(C) ribonucleotides(D) ribosesQ.6 Which one of the following is present in a bacterial cell?(A) 28S rRNA(B) 70S ribosome(C) Chitinous cell wall(D) Histones
Solution
The answer to the first question is (C) ribonucleotides. RNA is a polymer of ribonucleotides, which are composed of a ribose sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base.
The answer to the second question is (B) 70S ribosome. Bacterial cells contain 70S ribosomes, which are smaller than the 80S ribosomes found in eukaryotic cells. Bacterial cells do not contain 28S rRNA, a chitinous cell wall, or histones.
