It has been found in many cells that ribosomes occur in chains along $mRNA$ molecules. What is the advantage of this arrangement as compared to a situation in which ribosomes occur singly

A

Fewer $tRNA$ molecules are used in protein synthesis

B

Polypeptides can be produced more easily

C

A greater variety of polypeptides can be produced

D

Probability of gene mutation occurring is less

Solution

(b)Polypeptide can be produced more easily; when ribosomes occurs in chains then probability of formation of polypeptide is increased because polypeptide is made up of amino acids which are present on $tRNA$ and $tRNA$ attached with ribosomes.
