Question:
What is monocistronic and polycistronic?
Answer:
Hi there!
Cistron is the structural gene that codes for a protein.
Monocistronic is a gene segment that has one cistron and thus codes for only one protein.
Polycistronic is a gene segment that has more than one cistron and thus codes for more than one proteins.
Thanks
