Verified by ExpertsA
The 
gene codes for beta-galactosidase ( 
-gal), which is primarily responsible for the hydrolysis of the disaccharide, lactose into its monomeric units, galactose and glucose. The 
gene codes for permease, which increases permeability of the cell to 
-galactosides. The A gene encodes a transacetylase. Hence, all the three gene products in lac operon are required for metabolism of
lactose.
