The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks about the term used when a single mRNA molecule is associated with multiple ribosomes. 2. **Identifying Key Terms**: The key terms in the question are "single mRNA" and "multiple ribosomes." This indicates that we are looking for a specific term that describes this arrangement. 3. **Recalling Biological Concepts**: In the process of translation, ribosomes bind to mRNA to synthesize proteins. When several ribosomes attach to the same mRNA strand, they can translate the mRNA simultaneously. 4. **Finding the Correct Term**: The structure formed when multiple ribosomes are attached to a single mRNA molecule is known as a "polyribosome." This term is also referred to as "polysome." 5. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the correct answer to the question is "polyribosomes" or "polysomes." **Final Answer**: Polyribosomes (or polysomes). ---
