NTA AbhyasNTA Abhyas 2020

Solution:

60S and 40S are sub-units of eukaryotic (80S) ribosomes. Eukaryotic ribosomes have two unequal subunits, designated small subunit (40S) and large subunit (60S) according to their sedimentation coefficients. Both subunits contain dozens of ribosomal proteins arranged on a scaffold composed of ribosomal RNA (rRNA).
