What is the Difference between Monocistronic and Polycistronic?

Answer :– The primary distinction between monocistronic versus polycistronic (mRNA) is that the former generates a specific protein while the latter generates a number of functionally relevant proteins. Additionally, whereas prokaryotes have polycomb mRNA, eukaryotes have monocistronic mRNA.

Both polycistronic and monocistronic mRNA molecules can be translated into polypeptide structures. Fewer monocistronic mRNA molecules exist than polycistronic ones. Eukaryotic mRNA with only one cistron is referred to as monocistronic mRNA. Thus, it is capable to produce only one protein. The pre-mRNA refers to the developing transcripts of genes. Heterogeneous nuclear RNA is the term for pre-mRNA or other nuclear RNA (hnRNA).
