    Which enzyme/s will be produced in a cell in which there is a non-sense mutation in the lac Y gene?

    A)  \[\text{ }\!\!\beta\!\!\text{ -}\]galactosidase

    B)  Lactose permease

    C)  Transacetylase

    D)  Lactose permease and transacetylase

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    \[\text{ }\!\!\beta\!\!\text{ -}\]galactosidase is a structural gene present in segment of DNA, which carry Icdes for the synthesis of protein. Mutation in the lac Ygene of E.coli needs residues of cytoplasmic enzyme \[\text{ }\!\!\beta\!\!\text{ -}\]galactosidase. Lactose permease is a membrane protein, which is a major facilitator superfamily. Transacetylase is an enzyme transferring acetyl groups from one compound to another.
