Lactose is an inducer of the lac operon,
If lactose is absent lac repressor binds to the lac operator and prevents the transcription of the lac operon by RNA polymerase. If lactose is present lactose inhibits lac repressor, so it cannot bind to the lac operator and prevent the transcription of lac operon.
so the answer is b) lactose is absent.

The lac operon codes for enzymes that break down lactose, but this operon is only used when needed. This includes: 1. When the repressor is bound at the operator 2.When RNA polymerase is bound to the promotor WITHOUT the CAP molecule 3.When the CAP and cAMP molecules are bound to the RNA polymerase and lactose is bound to the repressor 4.When the CAP and cAMP molecules are bound to the RNA polymerase and lactose is NOT bound to the repressor

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...

The Lac operon is an inducible set of genes found in bacteria cells that helps the bacteria to metabolize the disaccharide lactose. When it is turned on it produces proteins that pump lactose into the bacteria cell and break it down into glucose and galactose, which can then be used by the bacteria as a source of energy The two figures below show the Lac Operon along with the lacl gene (which regulates the Lac operon...

In E coli the lac operon will express enzymes for the digestion of (Glucose/Lactose) when it is present, but if both the sugar mentioned before and (Glucose/ Lactose) are present the lac operon is repressed, resulting in the (Glucose/ Lactose) being used first. If there are high levels of cAMP, this means (Glucose/Lactose) levels are low, this results in a (Represser/Promoter) being activated and (Decreasing/Increasing) transcription of the lac operon.

The trp operon is considered to be repressible because: 1.The repressor binds to the operator, blocking RNA polymerase from transcribing, unless tryptophan is ABSENT 2.The repressor binds to the operator, blocking RNA polymerase from transcribing, unless tryptophan is PRESENT 3.The repressor binds to RNA polymerase at the promoter to help it find the -10 sequence 4.The trp operon has five genes that code for enzymes needed to synthesize tryptophan, only expressed when trp is PRESENT
