7. If a researcher moves the promoter for the lac operon to the region between the beta galactosidase (lacZ) gene and the permease (lacY) gene, which of the following results would you expect? A) The three genes of the lac operon will be expressed normally. B) The repressor will not be able to bind to the operon. C) The operon will still transeribe the lacZ and lacY genes, but the mRNA will not be translated. D) LacZ will not be transcribed and Beta galactosidase will not be produced.
