Question

Which of the following would be considered a gene product of an "informational gene"?
A) Staphylococcus toxic shock toxin
B) siderophore transport protein
C) hexokinase enzyme for glycolysis
D) Escherichia coli O157:H7 attachment pili
E) 16S ribosomal RNA

Accepted Answer

16S ribosomal RNA is a component of the ribosome, which is directly involved in the process of translation, making it a product of an informational gene. Informational genes are those involved in processes such as DNA replication, transcription, and translation, which are fundamental to the processing and expression of genetic information.
