Polycistronic mRNA refers to a messenger RNA which encodes two or more proteins. Polycistronic messenger RNAs participates in the process of protein synthesis(translation) in prokaryotes. Many bacterial mRNAs are fully functional in their primary composition transcripts meaning that they do not require any posttranscriptional modifications.

Answer:
Polycistronic mRNA is a mRNA that encodes several proteins and is characteristic of many bacterial and chloroplast mRNAs. Polycistronic mRNAs consist of a leader sequence which precedes the first gene. The gene is followed by an intercistronic region and then another gene.
