NEET · Biology · STD 12 - 5. molecular basis of inheritance
The equivalent of a structural gene is
- A muton
- B cistron
- C operon
- D recon.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) cistron
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
(b) : Cistron (or gene) is a length of \(DNA\) that contains the information for coding a specific polypeptide chain or a functional \(RNA\) molecule (\(i.e.\), transfer \(RNA\) or ribosomal \(RNA\)). Hence, cistron is a unit of function. Currently such a gene is called structural gene.
