Question

Operons allow prokaryotes to...?

a. replicate DNA at the appropriate time.
b. avoid mutations.
c. keep their DNA organized.
d. conserve energy.

Answer 1

a. replicate DNA at the appropriate time.

Prokaryotes are one celled organism that only reproduce by binary fission. A copy of a copy, of course the DNA is copied as well. DNA is duplicated a succinct period of time when necessary since the energy needed to perform this process is necessarily abundant.
