Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Protein synthesis in bacteria can occur with several ribosomes attached to the same mRNA molecule, known as polysomes, which allows for efficient and simultaneous translation. This process requires a significant amount of energy and resources from the bacterial cell. Additionally, protein synthesis can occur at the same time as an mRNA is being transcribed, known as transcription-translation coupling, resulting in rapid protein production.
