The genes will not be expressed in the 1st case because supersuppressor would mask their expression even in the presence of lactose.
In the 2nd case, the genes will not be expressed as there is no mention of presence of lactose. The suppressor is wildtype, and hence will mask the genes' expression.
In the 3rd case, the genes will be expressed as the operator has constitutive mutation.
In the 4th case, the genes will be expressed as lactose is present. Lactose inhibits the function of suppressor protein by binding to it.
In the 5th case, expression will occur because the constitutive mutation in operator is dominant to supersuppressor mutation.
Hence, expression of the genes will be seen in (3), (4), and (5).

For Questions 4-18, consider the mutations described in the left-hand column below. Identify whether the Lac operon will be ON or OFF in each of the environments listed across the top. The expression of the normal (wild type) operon is given. Note that "ON" and "OFF" refer to whether the operon is expressed at high levels (ON) or basal//low/no levels (OFF). (Hint: mutations render the indicated site inactive while leaving the remaining part of the operon or protein functional.) Note...

What happens to the expression of the Lac gene of E. coli if the following conditions occur? For each condition below, mark an X in the column labelled Activated or Repressed, then explain why you chose that answer. Please assume the glucose levels are low in the cell. The first row is done for you. Activated a Repressed b Explain your answer Repressor, Lactose, and RNA polymerase are all present in abundance X Repressor binds to lactose so it can...

Yet, all the cells in your body contain the same
genes (and same alleles). The difference across cell types
is that genes get selectively expressed (turned on or off)
based on the proteins needed for cellular function given their
environment.
