1. Operon

   Linked via "structural genes"

   The operon is a functional unit of genetic organization found primarily in prokaryotes, characterized by the clustering of genes under the coordinated control of a single regulatory region. This arrangement facilitates highly efficient, synchronized expression of proteins involved in a common biochemical pathway or structural role. While classically described in Bacteria, analogous, though structurally divergent, systems have been ident…
