State the difference between the structural genes in a Transcription Unit of Prokarytes and Eukaryotes.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

In Eukaryotes, the structural gene is monocistronic and split with exons (the coding sequence) and introns (the intervening sequnces that do not appear in mature RNA). On the other hand the Structural gene is polycistronic in prokaryotes.
