In bacteria,an operon:
A)is a region of DNA that is transcribed as a single mRNA encoding several proteins.
B)encodes for miRNAs.
C)contains a promoter unique for each individual gene in the operator.
D)none of the above

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An operon is a region of DNA that consists of multiple genes that are transcribed together as a single mRNA. This mRNA encodes for several proteins, which are then translated from the same mRNA transcript. This allows for coordinated gene expression and regulation in bacteria. Option B is incorrect since operons do not encode miRNAs, and option C is incorrect since operons typically have a single promoter that regulates the transcription of all the genes within the operon.
