In eukaryotes,the regulation of gene expression could be exerted at $:-$
$(I)$ Transcriptional level (formation of primary transcript)
$(II)$ Processing level (regulation of splicing)
$(III)$ Transport of $\text{mRNA}$ from nucleus to the cytoplasm
$(IV)$ Translational level
Choose the correct order for given statements $:-$

Consider the following statements of gene regulation and select the correct statements $:$
$(A)$ Expression of genes is regulated by metabolic,physiological,or environmental conditions.
$(B)$ Galactose can act as an inducer for the lac operon.
$(C)$ The operator region is adjacent to the promoter elements in most operons.
$(D)$ In the lac operon,lactose is transported into the cell through the action of permease.
$(E)$ Regulation of the lac operon by a repressor is referred to as positive regulation.

In the $lac$ operon concept of gene expression,allolactose acts as:

The 'Operon model' for gene regulation in bacteria was proposed by:

Lac operon is:

How is the $lac$ operon regulated by the repressor?
