An operon is a genetic regulatory system found in prokaryotes and the bacterial viruses (bacteriophages) that attack bacteria. It is a cluster of genes that share regulatory elements and are usually functionally related. French scientists Jacques...

An operon is a single unit of physically adjacent genes that function together under the control of a single operator gene. With respect to transcription and translation, the genes within an operon code for enzymes or proteins that are functionally...

An operon is a functioning unit of key nucleotide sequences including an operator, a common promoter, and one or more structural genes, which are controlled as a unit to produce messenger RNA (mRNA), in the process of protein...
