Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Cistron is the segment of DNA which determines the synthesis of complete polypeptide . Thus , it is considered as equivalent to a correct and others are incorrect.
Concept Enhancer Eukaryotic structural gene is monocistronic whereas prokaryotic structural gene is polycistronic.
Muton Smallest unit of genomic DNA containing a cluster of genes under control of single promoter.
