Homework Answers
2. Promoter: A promotrer is defined as a portion of DNA that causes the beginning of the transcription process of a specific gene. They are located near the start site of transcription and in Lac operon, promoter is the site where the binding of the RNA polymerase occurs and begins the process of transcription.
3. Operator: It is the segment of DNA that binds to the repressor. In the Lac operon it is a segment between the promoter and the gene that plays an important part in the regulating the transcription of the Lac operon genes.
4. Ligand: it is a molecule that generates a signal after it binds to a specific site in the target protein. In Lac operon, lactose acts as a ligand for the binding with operator. Allolactose that controls the binding of lactose to operator also acts as a ligand.
5. Repressor: In Lac operon, lactose acts as a repressor that plays an important part in the initiation of the transcription. If lactose is present in the system, then it binds to the operator ad does not allow the binding of RNA polymerase that results in no transcription of the lac genes. On the other hand, if lactose is not present in the system then, it allows the binding of the operator and the RNA polymerase that begins transcription of lac genes.

26. The lac operon in E. coli consists of genes that code for enzymes necessary for the breakdown of lactose. When lactose is absent, the operon is inactive because a repressor protein binds to a specific site in the lac operon. When lactose is present, lactose molecules bind to the repressor protein, causing the repressor protein to dissociate from the binding site. In the absence of glucose (a preferred energy source for bacteria), the protein CAP binds to a regulatory...

The lac operon contains three genes: lacZ, lacY, and lacA for β‑galactosidase, galactoside permease, and thiogalactoside transacetylase, respectively.
The lac operon contains three genes: lacZ, lacY, and lacA for β‑galactosidase, galactoside permease, and thiogalactoside transacetylase, respectively. The operon also contains a promoter site and an operator site. The regulatory gene includes the I gene for the Lac repressor protein and a promoter for that gene.The lac operon undergoes negative regulation. In the normal condition, the Lac repressor protein is active. Allolactose, an isomer of lactose, is the signal molecule that binds to the Lac repressor. Determine which events...
