The lac operon consists of a promoter that initiates transcription of the gene i, which encodes a repressor protein. A seperate promoter, p, within the operon initiates transcription of z, which encodes B-galactosidase, and y, which encodes permease. The operator, o, where the repressor protein binds to inhibit transcription, is positioned between mutations, whereas superscript c denotes a constitutively active mutant. The table below sea fives the activity of B-galatosidase and permease for haploid and diploid mutant strains. Match the dominant type of regulation controlling permease expression to each mutant strain.

The lac operon contains three genes: lacZ, lacY, and lacA for β‑galactosidase, galactoside permease, and thiogalactoside transacetylase, respectively.
The lac operon contains three genes: lacZ, lacY, and lacA for β‑galactosidase, galactoside permease, and thiogalactoside transacetylase, respectively. The operon also contains a promoter site and an operator site. The regulatory gene includes the I gene for the Lac repressor protein and a promoter for that gene.The lac operon undergoes negative regulation. In the normal condition, the Lac repressor protein is active. Allolactose, an isomer of lactose, is the signal molecule that binds to the Lac repressor. Determine which events...

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...

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...

26. The lac operon in E. coli consists of genes that code for enzymes necessary for the breakdown of lactose. When lactose is absent, the operon is inactive because a repressor protein binds to a specific site in the lac operon. When lactose is present, lactose molecules bind to the repressor protein, causing the repressor protein to dissociate from the binding site. In the absence of glucose (a preferred energy source for bacteria), the protein CAP binds to a regulatory...
