What does the structural gene (y) of a lac operon code for?(a) β-galactosidase(b) Transacetylase(c) Permease(d) GlucagonI have been asked this question in semester exam.The above asked question is from Molecular Basis of Inheritance topic in chapter Molecular Basis of Inheritance of Biology – Class 12

Answer»

Correct ANSWER is (C) Permease
