How many copies of a protein can be produced from a single mRNA transcript? Many because copies of the protein are simultaneously produced by one ribosome as it reads the mRNA codons. Many because RNA transcripts are translated by multiple ribosomes that are bound simultaneously at the same site on the mRNA. One because each MRNA transcript can be translated only once then it is destroyed. Many because several ribosomes can bind and translate one MRNA transcript at the same time, following each other along the MRNA.
