A Complex Consisting of a Single MRNA Molecule with Several

Question

A complex consisting of a single mRNA molecule with several ribosomes is called a
A)polysome.
B)multisome.
C)maxisome.
D)proteosome.

Accepted Answer

A polysome is a complex consisting of a single mRNA molecule with several ribosomes attached to it. This allows for multiple ribosomes to simultaneously translate the same mRNA molecule, which increases the efficiency of protein synthesis. The other answer choices (B, C, and D) do not accurately describe this complex.
