B)multisome
C)nucleosome
D)polysome

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A polysome is a complex of multiple ribosomes translating a single mRNA molecule. This allows for multiple copies of a polypeptide chain to be synthesized simultaneously from the same mRNA. Therefore, the correct answer is D. A phagosome is a vesicle formed by engulfment of a particle by a cell, a multisome is not a cellular structure, and a nucleosome is the basic unit of DNA packaging in eukaryotic cells.
