Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A regulon is a group of genes that are under the control of a single regulatory system. This can include genes that are involved in related processes or pathways. The regulation of these genes can occur at the level of transcription, translation, or post-translational modification. Operons are a specific type of regulon that consist of a set of genes that are transcribed together under the control of a single promoter. Super operon and biome are not recognized scientific terms. Transcriptome refers to the entire set of transcripts (mRNAs) that are present in a cell or tissue at a particular time.
