  • question_answer
    Match the components of Lac Operon of E. coli given under Column- I with their function listed in Column- II. Choose the answer with correct combination of alphabets of the two columns.
    Column-I (Components of Lac Operon) Column-II (Function)
    A. Structural gene p. binding site for represser protein
    B. Operator gene q. codes for represser protein
    C. Promoter gene r. induces  lactose transport   from the medium
    D. Regulator gene s. codes for enzyme proteins
    t. binding site for RNA- polymerase

    A)  A = q, B = t, C = p, D = r

    B)  A = r, B = s, C = t, D = p

    C)  A = s, B = p, C = t, D = q

    D)  A = t, B = s, C = q, D = p

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    As per the Operon system, structural genes codes for proteins through m-RNA formation. The represser is synthesized through activity of regulator gene. The represser protein attaches on operator gene and checks synthesis of w-RNA. During transcription, RNA polymerase enzyme binds on promoter genes.
