Ara operon

Let's deal with a bacteria only. 1. Suppose an operon was transcribed. When it gets translated, does each gene have its own translation intiation site (ribosomal binding site)? Or does it only have one (like it has one promoter). 2. rRNA (5s/16s/30s, ...

... can also be alosteric regulators (think of fructose 1,6-bisphosphate in glycolysis) and so can disaccharides (think of lactose in the lac operon). Polysaccharides have a structural role in the cell wall of plants (cellulose) and fungi (poly-N-acetylglucosamine), they are important for ...

An operon is generally common in prokaryotes (the bacteria) and less common, although existent, in eukaryotes (fern). Since you don't have the sequence, you can't tell for sure. But generally speaking, those are very different ...
