Lactose is the substrate for the enzyme beta - galactosidase and it regulates switching on and off of the operon. Hence it is termed as

Assertion (A): Lactose is the substrate for the enzyme beta-galactosidase and it regulates switching on and off of the lac operon. Reason ( R): The lac operon consists of one regulatory gene and three structural genes.

Assertion :- Lactose is the substrate for the enzyme beta -galactosidse & it regulates switching on & off of the operon. Reson: A very low level of expression of lac operon is always present in cell all the time.

Assertion :- Regulation of lac opernon by repressor is referred to as positive resultion. Reason : Refulation of lac opernon can also be visualised as regulation of enzyme synthesis by its product.

Assertion :- The gene I codes for the repressor of the lac operon. Reason : The y-gene codes for permease, which increases permeability of the cell to beta -galactosidase.

In lac operon, there are three structural genes in which uli codes for ulii that increases permeability of the cell to B-galactosides.Select the correct option to fill in the blanks (i) & (ii).

Read the following statements for lac operon: i. Each operon has its specific operator and specific repressor. ii. The y gene codes permease, which increases the permeability of the cell to beta-galactosides. iii. Regulation of lac operon can be visualized as regulation of enzyme synthesis by its substrate. Select the option with the correct statements.
