A) p-galactosidase will not be synthesised
B) permease will not be synthesized
C) transacetylase will not be synthesized
D) lactose digestion will he rapid
Correct Answer: B
Solution :
If the mutation occurs in the middle gene of structural gene, i.e. ?y?gene permease will not be synthesised. Lac operon is a transcriptionally regulated system where a polycistronic structural gene is regulated by a common promoter and regulatory gene. It has three structural genes, i.e. z, y,\[\alpha ,\] out of which 'z' gene codes for \[\beta \text{-}\]galactosidase, ?y? gene, i.e. middle gene codes for permease and \['\alpha '\] gene codes for transacetylase.
