False. An operon is a cluster of genes under the control of a single promoter, typically found in prokaryotic organisms. Operons generally consist of coding sequences (exons) that are transcribed together, but they do not contain introns, as prokaryotic genes typically lack introns. In contrast, eukaryotic genes can have exons and introns, but they do not form operons in the same way.
