G 17%, A 16.5%, T 32.5%
G 17%, A 33%, T 33%
G 17%, A 33%, T 33%

Gene regulation governing lactose operon of E.coli that involves the lac I gene product is
Positive and inducible because it can be induced by lactose
Negative and inducible because repressor protein prevents transcription
Negative and repressible because repressor protein prevents transcription.
Negative and repressible because repressor protein prevents transcription.
