The correct answer is: c. An operon is a region of DNA that codes for a series of functionally related genes under the control of the same promoter.

Operons contain cluster of genes that are transcribed together into mRNA or are not expressed at all. Formed mRNA undergos splicing to create monocistronic mRNAs so that can be translated separately. Operons are more often found in prokaryotic cells but it can appear in eukaryotic cells and in viruses.

A polypeptide only becomes a functioning protein after it has folded into its exact 3D shape.
makkiz [27]
True. A protein becomes functional only when it reaches its tertiary shape (3D). It is not necessary for the protein to reach the quaternary stage, but that is just a more complex functioning protein. It really is just two tertiary merged together. Example is red blood cells.

Although DNA is made up of only four different bases, it can encode the information necessary to specify the workings of an enti
VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

Because DNA molecules are extremely long.

Explanation:

DNA molecule is made up of only four types of nucleotides that are adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine. These four types of nucleotide encode all the information necessary for the formation and working of the entire organism because each DNA strand is as long as 2 meter which contains millions of base pairs.

The four nucleotides are arranged in the DNA strand with many different combinations which results in the formation of codons sequence that contains all the information about the cell. This long DNA is compressed several times to fit in the nucleus.
