Which of the following statements about regulation of the eukaryotic gene expression is INCORRECT?
A)The presence of a nuclear membrane separating transcription and translation in eukaryotes led to the evolution of additional mechanisms of gene regulation.
B)In eukaryotes, most structural genes are found within operons.
C)Eukaryotic mRNAs are generally more stable than prokaryotic mRNAs.

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In eukaryotes, unlike in prokaryotes where genes are often organized into operons, most structural genes are not found within operons. Instead, each structural gene has its own promoter region, and its own control elements, allowing for more precise regulation of gene expression.
