Answer:

To lose its function

Explanation:

Denaturation of macromolecules such as  proteinc or nucleic acid, means that they lose their quaternary structure, tertiary structure, and secondary structure under the influence of a certain factor. The factors that can lead to denaturation are external stress, strong acid or base, a concentrated inorganic salt,  radiation or heat. The consequence of denaturation is loss of biological activity for example, loss of the catalytic ability of an enzyme.

Describe the intracellular events that occur when a population of wild type ( lac+) escherichia coliis transferred from a medium
denis23 [38]

The lac repressor protein is bound to the operator region of the lac operon when there is no lactose in the medium. When introduced in lactose, it binds to an allosteric site on the repressor causing its to change conformation and release from the operator. This allows the polymerase that is bound to the promoter region to proceed transcription of the lac operon genes (LacZ, Lac A, and Lac Y). Translation of these genes forms enzymes that enable the organism to break down lactose for energy.
