You are studying polysomes and want to see if their numbers are actually increased in cells translating protein from an expressed retroviral oncogene.Which of the following methods are used to visualize these structures?
A)sedimentation analyses
B)electron microscopy
C)PCR
D)sedimentation analyses and electron microscopy

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Both sedimentation analyses and electron microscopy can be used to visualize and quantify polysomes. While sedimentation analysis helps in determining the size and number of polysomes in a sample, electron microscopy provides ultrastructural details of polysomes. Therefore, using both methods can give a comprehensive view of polysomes in cells expressing a retroviral oncogene. PCR, on the other hand, is a method used for amplifying DNA fragments and is not relevant to visualizing polysomes.
