Lactose operon is considered to be glucose sensitive due to

Options

A. Catabolite induction
B. Allosteric inhibition
C. Anabolic inhibition
D. None of these

Answer

A

Explanation

In Catabolite control of the lac operon, the operon is inducible by lactose to the maximal level when CAMP and CAP form a complex. This level of control is accomplished because lac operon inducers must bind to the repressor protein to remove it from the operator site and permit transcription of the lac operon.
