What are the advantages of the operon organization within the bacterial chromosome?
A major advantage is that it leads to the synthesis of groups of functionally related enzymes, usually from a single mRNA transcript. Since a functional pathway must be activated in terms of all of its components, the operon affords an all-or-none response that serves efficiency. The control mechanisms existing for turning on or turning off the operon make the operon sensitive to those changes in
