Answer:

The lactose present prevents the production of lactase

Explanation:

This question is describing a set of genes in bacteria called LAC OPERON. Lac operon controls the production of lactase, which is the enzyme that digests lactose. However, this gene can be regulated at the transcription level i.e caused to be transcribed or not depending on certain factors.

According to the question, lac operon, which regulates the production of enzymes will be transcribed and subsequently translated i.e. turned on when there is a substrate (lactose) that the produced enzyme will work on. However, when there is no need of the lactase enzyme or there is absence of lactose (substrate), the lac operon gene is turned off.

Note that, the statement that "The presence of lactose prevents the production of lactase" is not correct.

Lisa [10]
The layer of connective tissue, called the _perimysium_ , extends inward from the epimysium and separates the muscle tissue into small sections. these sections contain bundles of skeletal muscle fibers called _fascicles_ .
Additionally, bundles of contractile proteins called fibrils fill a muscle cell, called a fiber. Outside of each fiber, is the connective tissue endomysium. Bundles of fibers form fascicles, surrounded by perimysium. Bundles of fascicles and perimysium comprise the entire muscle organ, which is enclosed by epimysium.
