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

Options

A. plastidome
B. polyhedral bodies
C. polysome
D. nucleosome

Answer

C

Explanation

Polysome is a string of ribosomes associated with a single mRNA . Polysome helps to produce a number of copies of the same polypeptide .
Nucleosome is the unit of eukaryotic DNA that consists of a DNA segment wrapped around a core of eight histone proteins . Nucleosome chain gives a beads on string appearance under electron microscope . Plastidome refer to all the plastids of a cell which work as a functional unit .
Polyhedral bodies or carboxysomes are present in several groups of autotrophic bacteria that assimilate inorganic carbon via Calvin cycle , e.g. Cyanobacteria.
