Correct answer: A

The lac operon consists of :

One regulatory gene (i-gene), which codes for repressor.


Three structural genes (z, y and a).

1. z gene : Codes for β-galactosidase, which hydrolyze lactose to galactose and glucose.

2. y gene : Codes for Permease, which increases the permeability of the cell to lactose.

3. a-gene : Codes for a transacetylase.
