Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A polysome is a complex of mRNA and multiple ribosomes, allowing for multiple molecules of the same protein to be synthesized simultaneously. Anticodons are three-nucleotide sequences on tRNA that bind to complementary codons on mRNA during translation. Transcription factors are proteins that bind to DNA and regulate gene expression. Introns are non-coding regions of DNA that are transcribed but later removed from the final RNA transcript. Therefore, the correct choice is D) polysome.
