Which of the following statements best defines the term operon?

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).

Meiosis reduces chromosome number and rearranges genetic information. Explain how the reduction and rearrangement are accomplish
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

Explanation:

Meiosis is a form of cell division that occurs in the sex cells of organisms. It ensures the reduction of a diploid cell to an haploid cell to allow for the formation of a diploid zygote after fertilization (contribution of both parents haploid sex cells to give a diploid zygote). Thus, this process is very essential and important.

The reduction is accomplished by 2 divisions after the duplication of chromosomes

- first division: separation of homologous pairs of chromosomes (this reduces the total in half)

- second division: separation of sister chromatids of a chromosome.

The rearrangement in meiosis occurs by crossing over/genetic recombination.

This is the exchange of genetic material between homologous pairs of chromosome bringing about a rearrangement and genetic variation

An example of a chromosomal abnormality that arises as a result of defects in this process is the Down Syndrome which is caused by a nondisjunction of the chromosomes 21 pair in a sex cell.

This condition produces offsprings that have some characteristic facial features, short stature etc
