Quizplus · Accepted Answer

While a diploid cell only has two copies of most genes, multiple copies of the same mRNA can be produced with multiple promoter sequences to simultaneously initiate multiple ribosomes, and multiple ribosomes can translate the same mRNA. This allows for the production of hundreds of copies of a protein from those genes per second. Additionally, while transcription can repeat and make multiple mRNA copies of genes, multiple codons can also encode for the same amino acid, allowing for different versions of the protein to be made. However, options A and B are incorrect as they do not accurately describe the transcription and translation processes. Option C is also not the best choice as it does not explain how a cell can produce hundreds of copies of the same protein.
