Vedclass · Answer

(A) In the operon model of gene regulation,the structural genes are the genes that code for the synthesis of specific proteins or enzymes. The activity of these structural genes is directly controlled by the operator gene. The operator acts as a switch,where a repressor protein (produced by the regulator gene) binds to prevent or allow transcription by $RNA$ polymerase. Therefore,the operator is the specific site that controls the expression of structural genes.

Column-$I$	Column-$II$
$(i)$ Operator site	$(a)$ Codes for enzyme (protein)
$(ii)$ Promoter site	$(b)$ Codes for repressor
$(iii)$ Structural gene	$(c)$ Binding site for $RNA$ polymerase
$(iv)$ Regulator gene	$(d)$ Binding site for repressor

The activity of the structural gene is controlled by:
