Question

1. If the above gene is one of the three structural genes of the lac operon that codes for the
protein/ enzyme responsible for breaking lactose into two molecules of simple sugars,
a.) what triggers the activation of this gene?
b.) what triggers the inactivation of this gene?
c.) what substance is attached to the operator region of the operon in the absence of
activator?
d.) what gene is responsible for the synthesis of the substance used to attach in the
operator region in the absence of activator?

e.) what substance is attached to the promoter region of the operon in this case?

N.B.: Transcription proceeds in 5'-3' on the DNA template. Ribosomes move in 5'-3' along
the mRNA beginning in 5’AUG3' codon.
