Many ribosomes may associate with a single to form multiple copies of a polypeptide simultaneously. Such strings of ribosomes are termed as:

  1. A
    Plastidome
  2. B
    Polyhedral bodies
  3. C
    Polysome
  4. D
    Nucleosome

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

A polysome (or polyribosome) consists of several ribosomes attached to a single strand, allowing for the rapid, simultaneous production of multiple copies of the same protein.
