Solution
The correct option is B bacteria
By the process of transcription mRNA is formed, which moves the information from the DNA to the ribosomes for the production of proteins. Cistrons are nucleotide sequences that code for a single protein.
A cistron is a segment of DNA coding for a polypeptide.
All prokaryotes contain multiple cistronic units in their mRNA while eukaryotes have monocistronic mRNA. Bacteria are classified as prokaryotes because they lack a proper nucleus and membrane-bound organelles and hence they contain polycistronic mRNA.
Algae, protozoa and mammals all come under eukaryotes; they contain a clearly defined nucleus and distinct membrane-bound cell organelles and hence they form monocistronic mRNA derived from their nuclear DNA.
