Biology
1 answer:
Mandarinka [93]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

b. An operon is a region of DNA that codes for a series of functionally related genes under the control of the same promoter

Explanation:

An operon is usually found in prokaryotic organisms. It refers to the functional structure within prokaryotic genome in which multiple different genes are under the control of one promotor. All of the genes are transcribed together which leads to the formation of polycistronic mRNA. Polycistronic mRNA migh undergo splicing to create monocistronic mRNAs which will be translated separately into few products (proteins).

Description of a blue shark
Westkost [7]

The aerodynamic shape and lightness of the blue shark body allow it to move “elegantly” across the oceans. It exhibits countershading like many other sharks. The upper part is an indigo blue tone while the ventral and the sides are white.

It has a long caudal heterocercal fin. The second dorsal fin measures almost half the size of the first and its pectoral fins are unusually long compared to other sharks. Its eyes are large, its teeth are triangular, and it has a conical snout.

It reaches a length ranging from 3.8 to 4 meters and weighs about 240 kilograms. This species presents slight sexual dimorphism since the female tends to measure little more than 1 meter in comparison with the male.
