Polycistronic mRNA is a mRNA that encodes several proteins and is characteristic of many bacterial and chloroplast mRNAs. Polycistronic mRNAs consist of a leader sequence which precedes the first gene. ... Monocistronic mRNA is a mRNA that encodes only one protein and all eukaryotic mRNAs are monocistronic.
