Lac operon what is being produced

[510586]

Hi everyone. Just to confirm, the lac operon produces the mRNA of the 3 genes of the 3 enzymes (lactose permease, thiosulfide transacetylase, b galactosidase), not the enzyme itself right? So that mRNA is later translated into these enzymes? Since enzymes are proteins?

Yes, the lac operon transcribes those 3 genes into the mRNA sequence which is then translated into the specific proteins(enzymes).

Oh ok awesome thanks for clearing that up
