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).
