Select the Correct Statement About Archaeal Ribosomes

Question

Select the correct statement about archaeal ribosomes.
A)Archaeal ribosomal proteins are more similar to bacterial ribosomal proteins than to eukaryotic ribosomal proteins.
B)Archaeal ribosomes are susceptible to antibiotics,similar to bacterial ribosomes.
C)Archaeal ribosomes have subunits that are identical in shape and chemical components to those of bacteria.
D)The chemical components of archaean ribosomes are more similar to those of eukaryotic ribosomes than to those of bacterial ribosomes.

Accepted Answer

Archaeal ribosomes share more similarities in their chemical components with eukaryotic ribosomes than with bacterial ribosomes, reflecting the closer evolutionary relationship between archaea and eukaryotes in terms of their translational machinery.
