For the Escherichia coli lactose operon genotypes listed, + indicates a functional component, - indicates a nonfunctional
component, superscript C indicates a constitutively active component, and superscript S indicates a component that is
unresponsive to an inducer. Genotypes separated by a slash represent the bacterial chromosome and an additional circular DNA
strand, called a plasmid.
For each E. coli strain and condition below, indicate whether you would expect the synthesis of \(\beta\)-galactosidase (\(\beta\)-gal) and
permease. Glucose is not present in any condition.
