Text Solution

Verified by Experts

A low level of expression of lac operon prevents RNA polymerase from transcribing the operon. This allows RNA polymerase not to bind to the promoter site and reduces the production of lac mRNA, which enables the formation of all enzymes needed for any activity. This regulation of lac operon may help for the treatment of various genetic disorders.
