Read the statements regarding the lac operon and choose the correct option. 1. An inducer regulates the switching on and off of lac operon. 2. Repressor protein dissociates from operator region and prevents RNA polymerase from transcribing the operon. 3. In the presence of lactose, the repressor is activated by interaction with lactose. 4. RNA polymerase has access to the promoter and transcription proceeds only when the repressor is inactivated.

Which of the statements given below about the Champaran Satyagraha is/are correct? 1. It was related to Indigo plantations. 2. It started because the European planters oppressed the Zamindars. Select the correct answer using the code given below:

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. Identify the correct sequence of the structural genes in the lac operon.

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.

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

Read following statements (1-4). 1. In transcriptoin, adenine pairs with uracil. 2. Regulation of lac operon by repressor is referred to as positive regulation. 3. The human genome has approximately 50,000 genes. 4. Haemophilia is a sex - linked recessive disease. How many of the above statements are right ?

Lac operan exerts negative control when (1). Repressor binds promoter gene. (2) Repressor binds operator gene. (3). Inducer binds repressor. (4) Repressor binds with structural gene.

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. The lac operon of E. coli contains genes involved in lactose metabolism. It's expressed only when lactose is _____ (1)and glucose is _____(2).
