Identify the incorrect expression from the following statements :

The lac operon consists of a regulation gene and three structural gene. The lactose acts as inducer. In the presence of an Inducer such as lactose, the repressor is in inactivated during the interaction. This allows RNA polymerase access to the promoter and transcription proceeds. The repressor is synthesized which in turn binds with the operator region of the operon and prevents RNA polymerase from transcribing the operon. Which of the following statement is true in reference to the lac operon process in E.coli? (i) Galactosidase is the only enzyme produced in large quantities when lac operon is turned on (ii) The messenger RNA in lac operon is a polycistronic mRNA
