Answer #1

Answer: Options A and F are correct
Explanation:
The operon produces the polycistronic mRNA.
Since beta-galactosidase and permease are produced, there is no misregulation at the transcriptional level. i.e. the defect cannot be in the LacI, promoter, or operator.

LacA is not produced: This could be due to a mutation in the coding sequence of LacA which creates a premature translation termination codon.
If there is a nonsense codon produced at the end of the LacY coding sequence, it will also result in no-production of lacA protein.
