A Diploid Cell Only Has Two Copies of Most Genes,but

question 18

Multiple Choice

A diploid cell only has two copies of most genes,but can make hundreds of copies of a protein from those genes per second because

• A) the DNA can replicate during transcription, producing double-sided mRNA to accelerate the translation process.
• B) multiple ribosomes can actively attach to the template DNA and conduct translation immediately after transcription.
• C) multiple codons can encode for the same amino acid, allowing different versions of the protein to be made.
• D) while transcription can repeat and make multiple mRNA copies of genes, and multiple ribosomes can translate the same mRNA.
• E) multiple copies of the same mRNA can be produced with multiple promoter sequences to simultaneously initiate multiple ribosomes.
