Polysome is formed during __________ process?
Correct answer: C. Translation
- A. Transcription
- B. Secretion
- C. Translation
- D. Division
Explanation
A polysome, or polyribosome, forms when several ribosomes simultaneously translate one mRNA molecule, allowing many copies of a protein to be produced. Students may choose transcription because mRNA is involved, but transcription makes RNA from DNA whereas translation reads mRNA to make protein.

About Ribonucleic Acid (RNA)
Ribonucleic acid is generally a single-stranded nucleic acid containing ribose and uracil instead of thymine. Coverage includes mRNA, tRNA and rRNA, complementary base pairing, transcription and translation, and the differences between RNA and DNA in structure, location and biological function.
