Ans. 'false.'

Lac operon or lactose operon in bacteria represents a set of genes, responsible for the transport and metabolism of lactose by bacterial cells.

The 'i⁺' represents a wild-type regulatory gene, which expresses regulatory protein and transcription is regulated, while 'i⁻' represents a mutant regulatory gene that cannot make regulatory protein.

The 'o⁺' represents a wild-type operator sequence that can be repressed by a functional regulatory protein, while 'oc' represents a defective operator, by which the repressor protein cannot bind and thus, transcription is always on (constitutive expression).

The z⁺ represents wild-type structural gene that gets expressed, when transcription is on, while z- represents mutant and defective structural gene, thus, no lactose metabolism will occur.

Hence, in given bacterial cell, the repressor protein cannot not bind to both operator as operator of 'i+ocz⁻' haplotype represents a constitutive operator, by which repressor protein cannot bind and operon is always on.

Thus, the given statement is 'false.'

The scientific method is a series of steps followed by scientific investigators to answer specific questions about the natural world. it involves making observations, formulating a hypothesis, and conducting scientific experiments.the steps of the scientific method are •observation-the first step of the scientific method involves making an observation about something that interests you•question-once you've made your observation, you must formulate a question about what you have observed. •hypothesis-once you've made your observation, you must formulate a question about what you have observed. •experiment-once you've developed a hypothesis, you must design and conduct an experiment that will test it.•results-the results are where you report what happened in the experiment. •conclusion-the final step of the scientific method is developing a conclusion.i hope that this you : )
