Simultaneous
transcription & translation of a prokaryotic
DNA
The figure shows an electron
micrograph and
its interpretation. DNA and strings of individual ribosomes
attached to a single mRNA (polyribosome) are visible.
The mRNA
and RNAPol molecules are
barely visible, and the protein polypeptides are too small to
be seen.
