Explanation:- The mutation most probably would be in lacO cis-element because in merizygote the where repressor from wild lac operon is normal but fue to mutation in operator region it is not able to bind the operator thus cannot prevent lac operon expression thus giving 100% beta galactosidase activity.When lactose is added to the medium repressor molecules bind to lactose or allolactose and become inactive which further increases lac operon expression to 200% ( beta galactosidase activity).

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...

Briefly explain your answers to the following questions. A mutation (Mutation A) in the lac operon of E. coli leads to an inability to ferment lactose, and the expression of the operon is always off. Introduction into the mutant of an F' factor containing the wild type lac operon does NOT restore the ability to ferment lactose, i.e., there is no expression of the operon from the plasmid either. a. What is the probable nature of Mutation A? Is the...

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...

Imagine you are carrying out research on the lac
operon. You isolate six mutations in the lac operon by
measuring the amount of beta-galactosidase made in mutant cell line
under three different conditions: no lactose/no glucose; lactose
only; and lactose/glucose. Your results are shown in the table.

25. You take your lac/ strain and transform in two F' plasmids to conduct a complementation test. The first F' plasmid contains the entire lac operon from a strain that is lacz, while the second F' plasmid contains the entire lac operon from a strain that is lacY. You test the ability of the transformed bacteria to grow on media where the sole carbon source is either glucose or lactose, and obtain the following results: Lac t mutant compl lacZ...

5. Jacob, Monod, and Pardee used various E.coli mutants to help determine how the lac operon is regulated. The descriptions of some of the mutants are listed. For each E. coli mutant determine if the lac operon would be on or off in a lactose-only environment. laci mutant: This mutant produces a super repressor that is not inactivated by allolactose. It will still stick. Operater will be off, lacO mutant: This mutant has an altered operator sequence so that the...

There are two different strains of E. coli. One type is a wild type and the other is a lac operon mutant. The lac operon wild type has the genotype: I+P+O+Z+Y+A+ What is a silent mutation? What would be the result for the lac operon genes?

You are asked to develop a demonstration to show how the
lac operon works. You decide to use X-gal and IPTG to
determine if the enzyme ?-galactosidase is active. X-gal is a
lactose analog that turns blue when metabolized by ?-galactosidase,
but it does not induce the lac operon. IPTG is an inducer
of the lac operon, but is not metabolized by ?-galactosidase.

?-galactosidase. Circle all that apply....

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...
