A complex of ribosomes attached to a single strand of RNA is known as
Polysome.
Polymer.
Polypeptide.
Okazaki fragment.
To solve this problem, we need to identify the term used for a complex of ribosomes attached to a single strand of RNA. Let's analyze each option:Option 1: Polysome. - A polysome, or polyribosome, is a complex of multiple ribosomes attached to a single mRNA strand, allowing for simultaneous translation of the mRNA into protein. - This is the correct term for the described complex.Option 2: Polymer. - A polymer is a large molecule composed of repeating structural units, typically connected by covalent chemical bonds. - This term does not specifically refer to ribosomes or RNA.Option 3: Polypeptide. - A polypeptide is a single linear chain of amino acids, which is the product of translation by ribosomes. - This term refers to the product of ribosomal activity, not the complex itself.Option 4: Okazaki fragment. - Okazaki fragments are short sequences of DNA nucleotides synthesized discontinuously and later linked together during DNA replication. - This term is unrelated to ribosomes or RNA.Therefore, the correct answer is Option 1: Polysome.
