Scientists hypothesized that E. coli contained one operon. After further experimentation, they discovered that, in fact, E. coli contained two operons. Using this information, answer the questions provided What is one way scientists are able to study operons in organisms? A. by studying the number and organization of operons by reading the genome sequence B. by counting the operons during cell division C.by studying the operon controls during translation when proteins are constructed
The answer is A. One way for scientists to gather
information about operons in organisms
is by examining the genome sequence, such as by making use of the intergenic
distance between frames to count the number of operons there is in the genome.
