Solution

The correct option is D Several ribosomes held together by string of mRNA.
  • When several ribosomes are held together on a single mRNA chain and can translate an mRNA simultaneously are called polyribosomes or polysomes.
  • All the ribosomes can translate the mRNA and thus, many polypeptides chains are formed simultaneously from a single mRNA.
  • So, the correct answer is 'Several ribosomes held together by string of mRNA.'.
