Which of the following statements will be true regarding the effect of mutations in the components of the lac operon of E. coli [assume mutations will lead to loss of function in the affected gene]?
1. Only I and II are correct
2. Only I and III are correct
3. Only II and III are correct
4. I, II and III are correct
| I: | A mutation in the i gene will lead to a stoppage of transcription of the operon. |
| II: | A mutation in the z gene will lead to an inability in E .coli to hydrolyze the disaccharide, lactose. |

The methodology used in human genome sequencing that took the blind approach of simply sequencing the
whole set of genome that contained all the coding and non-coding sequence, and later assigning different
regions in the sequence with functions, is called as:
1. Expressed sequence tag
2. Sequence annotation
3. Chain termination
4. Physical mapping
