Which of the following are characteristics of prokaryotic cells? (a) Ribosomes are made of 50S and 30S subunits; (b) They can have plasmids; (c) They contain mesosome; (d) They have peroxisomes.

  1. A.(b) and (c) only
  2. B.(a) and (c) only
  3. C.(a), (c) and (d) only
  4. D.(a), (b) and (c) only

Correct Answer

(D) (a), (b) and (c) only

Solution & Explanation

Prokaryotic ribosomes are 70S, made of 50S and 30S subunits (a). They can carry extrachromosomal DNA called plasmids (b). They have mesosomes — infoldings of the plasma membrane (c). They lack membrane-bound organelles such as peroxisomes (d is false). Hence (a),(b),(c).
