Answer

  1. Both assertion and reason are true, and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

Explanation:

Regulator gene controls the operator gene in cooperation with a chemical compound called inducer present in the cytoplasm. The regulation gene codes for and produce a protein substance called repressor. The repressor substance combines with the operator gene to repress its function. Therefore it is called regulator gene. The constitutive genes keep on functioning all the time. They need not be repressed. Therefore, the regulator and operator genes are not associated with them.
