When permease is non-functional,and others are wild-type ,presence of lactose and absence of glucose will not give maximum transcript because,lactose molecule is not able to enter the cell.

Shown below are relevant genes and sites from various E. coli strains. Note: + designates the wild-type gene or site that is fully functional, and – designates a deletion of that gene or site; lacO+ means all operators (O1, O2 and O3) are functional; assume all other genes and sites not listed are wild-type and functional (including lacA). In some cases, a plasmid containing a wild-type functional gene or site was transformed into the E. coli strain. The strains were...
Shown below are relevant genes and sites from various E. coll strains. Note: + designates the wild-type gene or site that is fully functional, and - designates a deletion of that gene or site; laco means all operators (Oj, 0, and Oy) are functional; assure all other genes and sites not listed are wild-type and functional (including locA). In some cases, a plasmid caintaining a wild-type functional gene or site was transformed into the E. coli strain. The strains were...
Background: Several genetic regions are needed for lactose
metabolism: P(promoter), O(operator), lacZ(b-galactosidase gene),
lacY(permease gene), lacA(transacetylase gene) and lacI(repressor
gene). Strains can be defined as having + - c or s copies: + refers
to the functional version, - refers to a defect version, c refers
to a constitutively active version and s refers to a superrepressor
version. Each strain may or may not have an extra-chromosomal
plasmid containing the genes indicated. TA=transacetylase
it would be very helpful if you...
Three different strains of E. coli carry a mutation in the lac operon and/or laci gene. The production of B-galactosidase (+ present or - absent) is measured when lactose is present and absent from the medium. Assume the mutations involve only 1, 0, or Z. A merodiploid is constructed for each of the three strains. The plasmid carries a wild type lac operon and lacl gene. The production of functional B-galactosidase (+ present or - absent) is measured when lactose...
Microbiology question
51. Lacl regulates the expression of the lac operon, which encodes enzymes necessary for lactose metabolism. The genotypes of different E. coli strains are listed below. (For this exercise, lacP refers to the promoter, and lacO refers to the operator site where Lacl binds. lacl+ means wild-type, whereas lacl- indicates a loss-of-function mutation. lacO- means that Lacl cannot bind the operator.) For each strain, indicate whether the LacZ protein will be synthesized under the conditions indicated, when glucose...
The genotypes of the lac operon of several haploid and
partial diploid E. coli strains are given. For each genotype,
indicate the status of B-galactosidase synthesis as either Yes or
No. Assume that no glucose is present and cAMP is rich in the
growth medium.
• Oc is a mutant operator that cannot be bound
by the wild type repressor protein.
• Is is a mutant of repressor gene and cannot
bind to operator

2. Suppose you have six strains of E. coli. One is wild type, and each of the other five has a single one of the following mutations: lacZ, lacY, laď·0; and lach. For each of these six strains, describe the phenotype you would observe using the following assays. Explain your answers. [Notes: (1) IPTG is a colorless synthetic molecule that acts as an inducer of lac operon expression but cannot serve as a carbon source for bacterial growth because it...
Note whether in the following strains of E. coli,
B-galactosidase will be:
(A) Abundant in both the presence and absence of lactose
(B) Abundant only in the absence of lactose
(C) Abundant only in the presence of lactose
(D) Abundant only in the presence of sucrose
(D) Absent in both the presence and absence of lactose
Can you answer and explain these please?

1, (12 pts.) You are fortunate to obtain a strain of E. coli from the Pasteur Institute labeled #348, preserved from the work of Jacob & Monod. The genotype of the strain is Lac LacP Laco' Lacz' LacY. The Lacf mutation results in resistance to allolactose allosteric inhibition so it is always bound to the LacO operator. The LacY is a mutation resulting in zero permease activity. Lucky for you, today's echnology allows you to test this bacterial strain to...
As a student project, you have isolated six new mutant strains
of E. coli with altered behavior of the lactose operon. The strains
are listed in the table below, together with their phenotypes (with
regard to significant ?-galactosidase synthesis) in three specific
situations.
Columns 1 and 2 present the phenotypes of each mutant haploid
strain. In column 1, the mutant is in an otherwise wild-type
genome. In column 2, the genome also carries a nonsense-suppressor
mutation (that is not present...
