The lactose present in the growth medium of bacteria is transported to the cell by the action of

  1. Beta-galactosidase
  2. Acetylase
  3. Permease
  4. Polymerase

Answer

(3) Permease

Solution

In the lac operon, gene y codes for permease, which increases the permeability of the cell to lactose and transports it into the cell.

Gene z codes for -galactosidase (hydrolyses lactose) and gene a for transacetylase.

Answer: (3)
