A gene is a part of DNA which stores information to make an RNA or a protein .
Cistron is a segment of DNA which codes for a polypeptide chain .
The structural gene that has one transcription unit , it is called monocistronic .
The structural gene that has make transcription unit , it is called polycistronic .
The monocistronic structural genes have interrupted coding sequences in eukaryotes .
The coding sequence is called exons and the non coding or intervening sequences are called introns .
The introns do not appear in the final product of mRNA .
