Organization of multiple genes into operons in prokaryotes provides for:

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Operons allow for the coordinate expression of genes involved in a related process, such as a metabolic pathway. This allows for efficient regulation of gene expression and ensures that all necessary enzymes for a particular pathway are produced together in the appropriate amounts. Alternately, global regulation (B) can occur through the control of transcription factors that regulate many different genes, but this is not specific to operons. DNA amplification (C) refers to the creation of additional copies of DNA and is not related to operons.
