D)similar in structure and translate using different genetic codes.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ribosomes in prokaryotes and eukaryotes are composed of two subunits, a large subunit and a small subunit, each containing ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and protein. The overall structure of ribosomes is similar in prokaryotes and eukaryotes, but there are some differences in the rRNA and protein composition. However, they both use the same genetic code to translate RNA into proteins.
