Some plasmid vectors have incorporated the regulatory sequences of the lactose operon so that the expression of the recombinant gene can be induced at the appropriate time.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Plasmid vectors can be engineered to include regulatory sequences from the lactose operon, such as the lac promoter and operator, which allow for inducible expression of the recombinant gene when lactose or lactose analogs are present in the growth media. This allows for control over the timing and level of gene expression.
