Answer

  1. Both assertion and reason are false

Explanation:

Lactose is not a promotor gene but an inducer of lac operon as it combines with repressor protein fanned by repressor or regulatory gene and not the gene itself. The inducer joins the repressor, forming a repressor-inducer complex. This complex prevents the repressor from binding with the operator gene of the operon. This frees the operator gene so that the RNA polymerase can move from the promoter to the structural genes. The structural genes are then transcribed, forming a piece of polycistronic mRNA. The latter is transcribed by tRNA and ribosomes into enzymes.
