It is necessary for the gene that codes for the repressor of lac operon to be near the structural genes. True or false
Added by Marta Q.
Step 1
The operon consists of three structural genes (lacZ, lacY, and lacA) and a regulatory region, which includes the promoter, operator, and the lacI gene that codes for the repressor protein. The repressor protein binds to the operator region when lactose is not Show more…
