Question

Part of a strand of DNA with regulatory sequences:

hox gene
lac gene
typical gene

Which one best fits the description above?

Answer 1

Part of a strand of DNA with regulatory sequences is Lac gene.

Step-by-step explanation:

• Genes are the part of DNA that helps in development of traits of individual and helps in inheriting characteristics to offspring.

• In Lac gene(operon, which is fundamental unit of DNA) gene regulation (first genetic regulatory mechanism) was clearly observed for the first time.

• Lac gene is a gene that is required for the 'breakdown of lactose' and also helps in transporting of it.

• There are types of lac genes differing in structure are: LacA, LacY, LacZ.
