In lac operon, z gene codes for

  1. Transacetylase
  2. β-galactosidase
  3. Permease
  4. Repressor

Answer

(2) β-galactosidase

Solution

As per NCERT, in the lac operon the i gene codes for the repressor, the z gene codes for β-galactosidase, the y gene codes for permease and the a gene codes for transacetylase.

β-galactosidase hydrolyses lactose into galactose and glucose.
