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...

Genetic regulatory system of single-celled organisms (prokaryotes) and their viruses, in which genes coding for functionally related proteins are clustered along the DNA, enabling their expression to be coordinated in response to the cell's needs. By...

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...
