A group of ribosomes attached to mRNA is known as___________?
Correct answer: C. Polysomes
- A. Polymer
- B. Polypeptide
- C. Polysomes
- D. Monomer
Explanation
A polysome, or polyribosome, is a group of ribosomes simultaneously attached to one mRNA molecule, allowing several copies of a polypeptide to be made at once. Students may choose polypeptide because ribosomes produce polypeptides, but that term names the product, not the ribosome cluster.
