Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Genes are the segments of DNA that are transcribed to form RNA, and in an operon, all the genes are transcribed together into a single RNA strand. The operator is a regulatory sequence in the DNA that controls the access of RNA polymerase to the promoter, so it does not fit the description. The promoter is a sequence in the DNA that initiates transcription, but it does not include all the genes of the operon. The inducer is a molecule that regulates the activity of the operon by binding to a repressor protein, but it is not directly involved in the transcription of the genes.
