The lac operon consists of several components: - Promoter (P) The DNA sequence where RNA polymerase binds to initiate transcription. - Operator (O) A DNA sequence located within or near the promoter, where the repressor protein binds. - Regulatory gene (i) Encodes the repressor protein. - Structural genes (z, y, a) Encode enzymes involved in lactose metabolism.
In lac operon, RNA polymerase first binds on
