NEET 2018 Biology question

Many ribosomes may associate with a single mRNA to form multiple copies of a polypeptide simultaneously. Such strings of ribosomes are termed as

(1)Plastidome
(2)Polyhedral bodies
(3)PolysomeCorrect
(4)Nucleosome

Answer: (3)

Solution

Several ribosomes attached to one mRNA and translating it at the same time form a polyribosome (polysome or ergasome), which allows many copies of the polypeptide to be made quickly
