Is there any full form of a ribosome?

When a cell divides, it creates one copy of its genetic information — in the form of DNA molecules — for each of the two resulting daughter cells. read more

While ribosome can only work on one mRNA strand at a time, multiple ribosomes can bind to any mRNA strand to form polyribosomes. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic ribosomes differ slightly in their size and complexity, though their function is generally similar. read more

Ribosome is in itself a word; it is not an abbreviation. “Ribo” explains the rRNA present in the ribosomal unit along with many ribosomal proteins. And RNA as known is composed of ribose sugar (5-carbon). rRNA is present in large numbers in a ribosomal unit. read more
