Many ribosomes may associate with a single mRNA to form multiple copies of a polypeptide simultaneously. Such strings of ribosomes are termed as
Plastidome
Polyhedral bodies
Polysome
Nucleosome
To solve this problem, we need to understand the concept of multiple ribosomes associating with a single mRNA molecule.This process allows for the simultaneous synthesis of multiple copies of a polypeptide.Let's analyze the options:Option 1: Plastidome - This term is not related to ribosomes or mRNA. It refers to the collective genome of plastids.Option 2: Polyhedral bodies - These are structures found in some bacteria, not related to ribosomes on mRNA.Option 3: Polysome - This is the correct term. A polysome, or polyribosome, is a complex of an mRNA molecule and two or more ribosomes that act to translate mRNA instructions into polypeptides.Option 4: Nucleosome - This term refers to a segment of DNA wound around histone proteins, not related to ribosomes or mRNA.Therefore, the correct answer is Option 3: Polysome.
