Polycistronic messenger RNA (mRNA) usually occurs in

Question

Polycistronic messenger RNA (mRNA) usually occurs in (A) bacteria (B) prokaryotes (C) eukaryotes (D) both (a) and (b)

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

When a particular gene codes for a mRNA strand it is said to be monocistronic or monogenic. When several genes (cistrons) are transcribed into a single mRNA molecule, it is described as polycistronic or polygenic. Prokaryotic mRNA are polycistronic.
