Answer:

Operon.

Step-by-step explanation:

Operon is known as a functional unit of DNA. They also present in viruses, for example bacteriophage. In general words, operon is basically a group of genes under the control of one promoter.

In bacteria genes are often present in a cluster of the chromosomes in which they are transcribed from one promoter or RNA polymerase binding site as a single unit. Under control of single promoter this cluster of gene is known as an operon.
