Bikont

It is a group of eukaryotes.[1] Enzymes[edit] Another shared trait of bikonts is the fusion of two genes into a single unit: the genes for thymidylate synthase (TS) and dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) encode a single protein with two functions.[2] The genes are separately translated in unikonts.
