Polyribosomes are aggregation of (a) ribosomes and rRNA (b) peroxisomes (c) several ribosomes held together by a string of $\mathrm{mRNA}$ (d) RNA.
All of the following statements are true of polysomes EXCEPT: Polysomes are complexes of multiple ribosomes on mRNA. Polysomes are found in both eukaryotes and prokaryotes. Polysomes increase the rate of protein synthesis. Polysomes are located in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells. Bacterial polysomes can be detected before transcription is completed.
