Identify the correct match.

a
Cistron- Segment of DNA coding for a polypeptide
b
Monocistronic structural genes – Mostly in prokaryotes
c
Polycistronic structural genes – mMostly in Eukaryotes
d
Split genes- Prokaryotes

detailed solution

Correct option is A

Cistron is defined as a segment of DNA coding for a polypeptide.The structural gene in a transcription unit could be said as monocistronic (mostly in eukaryotes) or polycistronic (mostly in bacteria or prokaryotes). In eukaryotes, the monocistronic structural genes have interrupted coding sequences – the genes in eukaryotes are split.
