(a) Name the molecule ‘X’ synthesised by ‘i’ gene. How does this molecule get inactivated? (b) Which one of the structural genes codes for b-galactosidase? (c) When will the transcription of this gene stop? |

Answer» (a) The molecule ‘X’ is repressor. It gets inactivated when lactose (inducer) binds with the repressor molecule. (b) z gene codes for b-galactosidase. (c) Transcription of this gene stops when lactose is absent and thus repressor is free to bind with the operator. |
