Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The subunits of ribosomes are formed by a combination of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and proteins. Specifically, the large subunit of the ribosome is composed of three rRNA molecules and a variety of proteins, while the small subunit is made up of one rRNA molecule and a smaller set of proteins. Therefore, choice C, rRNA and proteins, is the correct answer.
