NEET Botany DNA Structure MCQ Question
Which combinations correctly describe the characteristics of genes in eukaryotes and prokaryotes?
Eukaryotic genes are generally monocistronic and contain introns, while prokaryotic genes are usually polycistronic and lack introns.
Both eukaryotic and prokaryotic genes are exclusively monocistronic and contain exons only.
Prokaryotic genes typically have a more complex structure with split coding sequences compared to eukaryotic genes.
Eukaryotic genes can be both monocistronic and polycistronic, while prokaryotic genes are strictly monocistronic.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Eukaryotic genes are primarily monocistronic with introns, while prokaryotic genes are polycistronic and typically lack introns, as indicated in the context about the structural gene arrangements.
