Give all possible genotypes of a lac operon that produces, or fails to produce, $\beta$ -galactosidase and permease under the following conditions. Do not give partial-diploid genotypes.

Step 1
The lac operon is an operon required for the transport and metabolism of lactose in E. coli. It consists of three adjacent structural genes, lacZ, lacY, and lacA. Show more…

What are two different haploid genotypes that will both have no expression of the Lac Y gene, either in the presence or absence of lactose? List both genotypes and explain in a few words how each different genotype will result in no expression in the presence or absence of lactose.

Select all genotypes that would result in bacteria that are unable to utilize lactose. Check All That Apply lacZ lacY lacI

Determine the outcome for the lac operon genotype shown below: I+P+OcZ-Y-/I-P+OcZ+Y+ Assume lactose is absent. Select one: Functional beta-galactosidase and functional permease are produced. Only functional beta-galactosidase is produced. Functional permease is NOT produced. Only functional permease is produced. Functional beta-galactosidase is NOT produced. Functional beta-galactosidase is NOT produced. Functional permease is NOT produced.
