As we learnt in

Ribosomes -

It is a complex made up of RNA and protein and is the site for protein synthesis.

- wherein

Several ribosomes may attach to a single mRNA and form chains called polyribosomes or polysome.

 

The phenomenon of association of many ribosomes with single m-RNA leads to formation of polyribosomes or polysomes or ergasomes.
