82. The molecular weight of a mature glycoprotein can often be variable and non-uniform compared to a pure protein because

A. Ribosomes synthesize protein chains at random speeds
B. Glycosylation is a non-templated, step-by-step enzymatic process
✓
C. Carbohydrate chains are prone to spontaneous nuclear fission
D. Proteins undergo spontaneous conversion into fatty acids

📝 Explanation

Unlike template-driven translation, carbohydrate assembly depends on local enzyme concentrations and kinetics, resulting in glycan variations.
