Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

  • Polysome is not an inclusion body found in prokaryotes. Polysomes (polyribosomes or ergonomist) are cluster of ribosomes bound to mRNA molecule are helpful in translation. Inclusions are dense aggregates of specific chemical compounds in the cell. In prokaryotic cells, phosphate granules accumulate in granules containing long chains of phosphate, which possibly reserve high energy in form of phosphate. Glycogen granules accumulate reserve carbon and energy source and cyanophycean granule is reserve of nitrogen.
