Lac Operon IPOZY v3 In the genotype presented (genomic plus
plasmid genes), which of the following statements is consistent
with the expression phenotype? genome: I+P+ O- Z+ Y- plasmid: I+ P-
O+ Z- Y+
constitutive expression of β-gal and permease induced in the presence of lactose
constitutive expression of β-gal only
constitutive expression of β-gal and permease
β-gal and permease induced in the presence of lactose
constitutive expression of permease and β-gal induced in the presence of lactose
1. Answer: Option 5
is correct
Explanation:
The Lac operon is a negatively regulated inducible operon.
It is expressed only in the presence of lactose provided that
glucose is absent.
Genotype = I+P+O-Z+Y-/I+P-O+Z-Y+
Genomic copy = I+P+O-Z+Y-
Since it is O-, Z+ (Beta-gal) is expressed in the presence of
lactose.
Plasmid copy = I+P-O+Z-Y+
Since it is P-, Y+ (Permease) is never expressed.
= Inducible expression of LacZ and constitutive repression of
LacY

In this problem you will explore how to solve problems involving partial diploid lac operon bacterial strains. Bacterial strains that are "partially diploid" have two copies of the lac operon because they aquired a plasmid carrying just the lac operon region. One copy of the lac operon region is on the recipient's bacterial chromosome, and the other copy is on the P plasmid that was introduced into the cell by conjugation. Partial diploid genotypes are written with the P segment...
Bacteria which are stable partial diploids (F’) for the lac operon are grown in the presence or absence of lactose, as indicated below. The presence (+) or absence (-) of β-galactosidase and permease expression are investigated in these cultures. Which of the following options (A-E) would be the expected results for bacteria with the genotype IS P+ O+ Z+ Y- / I+ P+ OC Z– Y+ ? β-galactosidase Permease No lactose Lactose No lactose Lactose A - + - +...

(3 pts) There is a new mutation in the Lac/gene, called IN, that introduces a missense mutation in the DNA binding domain of the protein. IN can not bind to the operator. Predict the outcome of the following lac operon genotype for the expression of functional lac enzymes in the different conditions indicated. (Note: + = wildtype, - = no functional protein made.) IN O+P+ Z-Y+ - lactose + lactose b-gal (Z) Permease (Y) b-gal (Z) Permease (Y) + +...
The lac operon in E. coli is a well-studied gene system, and β-galactosidase (β-gal) is the product of the lacZ gene. The diploid conditions represent the addition of a plasmid carrying different components of the lac operon. Determine if β-gal will be generated under the conditions. Assume that glucose is absent. A + in the genotype indicates a functioning gene, while a – indicates a loss-of-function allele. The OC is an operator mutant that cannot bind the lacI protein. Use...
Consider the following partial diploid genotype of an Escherichia coli strain regarding the lac operon: lact P+O+Z+Y+ A+/lacp+O+Z+Y+ A+ In the PRESENCE of lactose, what is the state of beta- galactosidase expression? O A.- OB. + OC. Can't tell
Briefly explain your answers to the following questions. A mutation (Mutation A) in the lac operon of E. coli leads to an inability to ferment lactose, and the expression of the operon is always off. Introduction into the mutant of an F' factor containing the wild type lac operon does NOT restore the ability to ferment lactose, i.e., there is no expression of the operon from the plasmid either. a. What is the probable nature of Mutation A? Is the...
The following shows the genotype of a partial diploid bacterial cell - where one chromosomal region containing the lac operon in E, coli is given, and the other fragment is from a plasmid carrying another lac operon from another source. The two are separated by a slash (/). The possible answers indicate with a"+" or awhether beta-galactosidase would be expected to be produced at induced levels under two circumstances: 1) first in the absence of lactose and 2) second in...
Consider the following lac operon genotype: laci+P+OCZY+A+ In an E. coli strain with this genotype, what is the status of beta- galactosidase activity in the PRESENCE of lactose? O A. - OB. + c. Can't tell
Determine the outcome for the lac operon genotype shown below: I-P+O+Z+Y-/I+P+OcZ-Y+ Assume lactose is present.
