There are 4 genes (I, Z, Y, A), 2 Promoters and 3 lac operators in Lac operon

The major O1 lac operator lies adjacent to promoter

The O1 operator extends from position -5 just upstream of the mRNA start point to position +21 within the transcription unit.

The anterior-posterior axis is determined before the first cell division, and the cleavage furrow is located asymmetrically along this axis of the egg, closer to what will be the posterior pole.

The stem cell lineage always undergoes meridional ,division to produce

(1) An anterior founder cell (AB)

(2) A posterior cell (P1) that will continue the stem cell lineage.

The founder cell (AB) divides equatorially, while the P1 cell divides meridionally (transversely) to produce another founder cell (EMS) and a posterior stem cell (P2).
