Review Figure 19.15 below: Which one of the following statements about the lactose operon is not correct?

A. The lacZ coding sequence for - galactosidase and lacY coding sequence for lactose permease are genes called structural genes. B. lacO is a gene sequence coding for the operator. C. The promoter sequence recruits RNA polymerase complex and the initiation of transcription. D. lacI is a gene sequence coding for the repressor which binds to the operator, inhibiting transcription. E. The CRP-cAMP binding site promotes transcription of lactose operon genes if cAMP is high, which indicates that glucose is low and lactose metabolism is needed for energy production.
