Which one of the following correctly explains the function of a specific part of a human nephron?

Name the inducer which regulates the switching on and off of the lac operon.

Identify the correct statement:

The Lac operon contains three structural genes and The structural genes code for
i) The gene codes for beta-galactosidase enzyme.
ii) gene does not code for transacetylase enzyme.
iii) The gene codes for enzyme permease.
