The operon in E Coli contains 88 genes the total no of structural genes in the same operon is 22.

  • Lac operon consists of 4 types of genes and activates enzymes to regulate metabolic processes.
  • Four types of genes are found in operons which are regulator gene, promoter gene, operator gene and structural genes.
  • So, 4 types of genes are repeated 22 times to give a total of 88genes.
  • 22 regulator gene + 22 promoter gene + 22 operator gene + structural genes = 88 genes.
