The lac operon has three paradoxes

1-If the operon is in a repressed state, how does the inducer enter the cell to start the process of induction

2- If the operon is in a repressed state, how Repressor is removed with allolactose 

3- How is allolactose synthesized in Repressed state Answer is Leaky Expression

Leaky Expression

In repressed state, an occasional transcript gets made. This happens because every so often, RNA polymerase will manage to bind the promoter in place of the Lac repressor. This leakiness encode meager level of Z, Y and A.
