In lac operon,the regulator gene codes for

Which of following statement is true for lac operon in E-coli (a) lac operon consists of one regulatory gene and five structural gene. (b) The i gene codes for inducer (c) The z-gene codes for beta -galacosidase (d) A very low level of expression of lac operon has to be present in cell all the time

An operon consists of

Assertion :- Gene regulation in prokaryotes is comparatively simple than eukaryotes. Reason : In most of prokaryotic operons the genes present in the operon are needed together to function in the same or related metabolic pathway.

Study the schematic representation of the genes involved in the lac operon given below and answer the questions that follow : {:(p,i,p,o,z,y,a):} (a) Identify and name the regulatory gene in this operon. Explain its role in 'switching off' the operon. (b) Why is the lac operon's regulation referred to as negative regulation ? (c ) Name the inducer molecule and the products of the genes 'z' and 'y' of the operon. Write the functions of these gene products.

In inducible operon, regulatory gene synthesize:

(a) What is an operon ? (b) Explain how a polycistronic structural gene is regulated by a common promoter and a combination of regulatory genes in a lac- operon.

Assertion :- In lac operon, a polycistronic structural gene is regulated by a common promoter & regulatory genes. Reason : Such arrangement is very common in bacteria & is referred as operon.

(a) What is an operon ? (b) Explain how a polycistronic structural gene is regulated by a common promoter and a combination of regulatory genes in a lac- opron.
