Show transcribed image text A bacterial inducible operon, similar to the lac operon: contains three regions (x, y and Z) that are involved in coordinated regulation of transcription. One of these regions is the operator, one is a gene for a regulatory protein and the third is a structural gene that produces an enzyme. In the table below,"+" indicates that the structural enzyme is synthesizes and "-" indicates that it is not produced. Use the information provided to determine which gene is the operator, which produces the regulatory protein and which produces the enzyme.
