Question

Which organism type typically produces Polycistronic mRNA?

पर्याय

• Plants

• Prokaryotes (bacteria)

• Eukaryotes

• Fungi

Answer 1

Prokaryotes typically produce Polycistronic mRNA, where a single mRNA transcript encodes multiple proteins. This is exemplified by operons such as the Lac operon in E. coli. Eukaryotes, by contrast, produce Monocistronic mRNA that encodes a single protein, as seen in the human β-globin gene.
