Effect of BAP, NAA and [GA.sub.3], either alone or in combination, on meristem culture and plantlet establishment in sweet potato (CV Brondal)
Several ribosomes can translate an mRNA molecule simultaneously forming a polysome. In prokaryotes translation often begins before synthesis of mRNA is completed; in eukaryotes this does not occur because mRNA is made in the nucleus whereas the ribosomes are located in the cytoplasm.
