Question

A complex of ribosomes attached to single strand of RNA is known as:

Mr. NARESH KUMAR K · Accepted Answer

## CORE INFORMATION
✓ **Answer**: A
## CONCEPT FRAMEWORK
	**Primary Concept**: Polysome formation during translation
	**Related Topics**: Ribosomes, mRNA, protein synthesis
	**Prerequisites**: Basic knowledge of cell biology, particularly translation.
## SOLUTION PATHWAY
**Given Information**:
	* A complex of ribosomes attached to a single strand of RNA.
**Method & Steps**:
	1.	Recall the definition of a polysome.
		Reasoning: A polysome is the structure formed when multiple ribosomes simultaneously translate the same mRNA molecule.
		Formula/Rule: N/A
	2.	Identify the term that matches the given definition.
		Working: Comparing the options, only 'polysome' accurately describes a complex of ribosomes bound to a single mRNA.
		Key Point: Polysomes increase the efficiency of protein synthesis.
	3.	Select the correct answer.
		Result: Polysome is the correct term.
		Verification: Polysome is the standard term in molecular biology.
 ## OPTION ANALYSIS
[A] ✓: **Polysome** is the correct term for a complex of ribosomes translating a single mRNA.
[B] :x: **Polymer** is a general term for a large molecule made of repeating subunits and does not specifically describe this complex.
[C] :x: **Polypeptide** refers to a chain of amino acids, which is the product of translation, not the complex itself.
[D] :x: **Okazaki fragment** is a short DNA fragment formed during DNA replication, not related to translation or ribosomes.
 ## LEARNING AIDS
	**Common Mistakes**:
		1.[Confusing with related terms]: [Confusing polysome with terms like polypeptide or polymer. Understanding the specific context of translation is crucial.]
	**Quick Tips**:
		1.[Polysome = multiple ribosomes]: [Remember that 'poly' means multiple, and a polysome involves multiple ribosomes.]
