In prokaryotes, the predominant site for control of gene expression is the  :

(1) transcription initiation 

(2) processing level

(3) transport of mRNA 

(4) translation level

In most prokaryotes the transcription unit is :

(1) Mono-cistronic

(2) Poly-cistronic

(3) Multi-cistronic

(4) Uni-cistronic

A transcription unit does not contain:

2. The structural gene

3. A terminator

4. An operator

Consider the following statements:

Which of the above statements are true?

1. I and II only

2. I and III only

3. II and III only

4. I, II and III
