Question
which two cellular components make up the ribosomal subunits involved in the process of translation?
a. transfer rna and messenger rna
b. ribosomal rna and ribosomal proteins
c. endoplasmic reticular proteins and messenger rna
d. ribosomal rna and transfer rna
Ribosomal subunits are composed of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and ribosomal proteins. Transfer RNA (tRNA) is involved in bringing amino acids to the ribosome during translation, but it is not part of the ribosomal subunits. Messenger RNA (mRNA) carries the genetic code from DNA to the ribosome for translation but is also not a component of ribosomal subunits. Endoplasmic reticular proteins are not related to the composition of ribosomal subunits. So, the correct components of ribosomal subunits are ribosomal RNA and ribosomal proteins.
