Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Multiple ribosomes simultaneously translate one mRNA
Polysomes consist of several ribosomes translating the same mRNA simultaneously, increasing the efficiency of protein synthesis. Each ribosome is at a different stage of elongation along the transcript.
