5.Molecular Basis of Inheritance
medium
Lactose operon produces enzymes
A
$b-$galactosidase, permease and glycogen synthetase.
B
$b-$galactosidase, permease and transacetylase.
C
permease, glycogen synthetase and transacetylase.
D
$b-$galactosidase, permease and phosphoglucose isomerase.
Solution
Lactose operon (model proposed by Jacob and Monad) produces three enzymes -$ b-$ galactosidase $(z)$, permease $(y)$, transacetylase $(a) . $b-\; Galactosidase $(z)$ is responsible for the splitting of lactose into glucose and galactose. Permease $(y)$ is required in entry of the lactose/galactose. Transacetylase $(a)$ transfers an acetyl $CoA$ to $ b-$Galactosides.
