Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
- Lactose acts as the inducer for the expression of the Lac operon. When lactose is present, it binds to the repressor protein, causing a conformational change that releases the repressor from the operator region of the operon. This allows RNA polymerase to transcribe the genes necessary for the metabolism of lactose.
