Cistron: History, Regions & Measurement

A cistron is a region of DNA that is quite similar to a gene, so much so that the terms are considered synonymous by some, especially with regard to the molecular gene as contrasted with the Mendelian gene. The debate whether or not a cistron is the same thing as a gene, revolves around what size a segment of DNA constitutes as a unit of selection. The…
