The correct description of prokaryotic ribosomes will be:
1. They are about 15 nm by 20 nm in size and are made of two subunits - 50S and 30S units which when present together form 70S prokaryotic ribosomes.
2. They are about 15 nm by 20 nm in size and are made of two subunits - 40S and 30S units which when present together form 70S prokaryotic ribosomes.
3. They are about 20 nm by 25 nm in size and are made of two subunits - 60S and 40S units which when present together form 80S prokaryotic ribosomes.
4. They are about 25 nm by 50 nm in size and are made of two subunits - 50S and 20S units which when present together form 70S prokaryotic ribosomes.
