Predict the level of genetic activity of the lac operon as well as the status of the lac repressor and the CAP protein under the cellular conditions listed in the accompanying table.

¦ H I NT: This problem asks you to combine your knowledge of the Jacob—Monod model of the regulation of the lac operon with your understanding of how catabolite repression impacts on this model. The key to its solution is to keep in mind that regulation involving lactose is a negative control system, while regulation involving glucose and catabolite repression is a positive control system.
