Last Answer : (1) operon Explanation: The operon is defined as a group of genes whose activity is coordinated by a DNA site. An operon is a functioning unit of genomic DNA containing a cluster ... together in the cytoplasm, or undergo trans-splicing to create monocistronic mR-NAs that are translated separately.
