A quantum ring coupled to a 1D topological superconductor hosting Majorana bound states (MBSs) is investigated. The MBSs effects over the spectrum and persistent current along the quantum ring are studied. The spectra of the system are obtained by an exact numerical diagonalization of the Bogoliubov-de Gennes Hamiltonian in the Majorana representation. In addition, Green's function formalism is implemented for analytical calculations and obtained a switching condition in the MBSs fermionic parity. Three different patterns that could be obtained for the spatial separation of the MBSs, named: bowtie, diamond, and asymmetric, are reported here, which are present only in odd parity in the quantum ring, while only a single pattern (bowtie) is obtained for even parity. Those patterns are subject strictly to the switching condition for the MBSs. Besides, quantum ring with the presence of a Majorana zero mode presents gapped/gapless spectra in odd/even parity showing in the even case a subtle signature in the persistent current.
