Ribosomes + m-RNA?
Correct answer: A. Polysome
- A. Polysome
- B. Phlosome
- C. Polosome
- D. None of these
Explanation
A polysome, or polyribosome, is a group of ribosomes attached to a single mRNA molecule and translating it simultaneously. This arrangement allows many copies of the same polypeptide to be produced efficiently. Students may choose one of the invented terms such as polosome because they sound similar, but polysome is the established biological term.

About Cytoplasmic Organelles
Cytoplasmic organelles are the specialized structures suspended in cytoplasm, including mitochondria, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, vacuoles and centrosomes. Questions compare their structures and functions in animal and plant cells, including chloroplasts and the role of the endomembrane system in transport and secretion.
