Question

Operon prediction is less important in prokaryotic promoter prediction.

(a) True

(b) False

I got this question during an internship interview.

My doubt stems from Prediction Algorithms in division Promoter and Regulatory Element Prediction of Bioinformatics

Answer 1

Correct answer is (b) False

For explanation: One of the unique aspects in prokaryotic promoter prediction is the determination of operon structures because genes within an operon share a common promoter located upstream of the first gene of the operon. Hence, operon prediction is the key in prokaryotic promoter prediction.
