VLD [36.1K]3 years ago

No, they cannot directly affect a change to genes. If there is a mutation in the genes (a change) and this is seen as beneficial to the individual in an environment and allows them to reproduce then it will be possibly passed on. Those with a beneficial gene for a change in environment will continue to produce offspring an survive and so the frequency of the allele (the gene) will increase and so the trait becomes more common

What is the purpose of operons in prokaryotes?
Tems11 [23]
The operon is effectively the center of transcriptional control. In addition to its main structural genes, the operon houses an operator and a promoter. In front of the promoter lies a regulatory gene that produces repressor proteins. When a repressor is in its active state, it binds to the operator.
