Question:

All of the following are part of an operon except: An enhancer, structural genes, a promoter, an operator.

Structural genes

An operator

An enhancer

A promoter

Enhancer sequences are regulatory DNA sequences. This sequences are bound by specific proteins called transcription factors. The binding of these proteins will enhance the transcription of an associated gene. They are not the part of the operon structure. So, the correct answer is option C (An enhancer).
