Groups of alleles associated with the lactose operon are as follows (in order of dominance for each
Question:
Groups of alleles associated with the lactose operon are as follows (in order of dominance for each allelic series): repressor, Is (superrepressor), I+ (inducible), and I- (constitutive); operator, Oc (constitutive, cis- dominant) and O+ (inducible, cis-dominant); structural, Z+ and Y+.
(a) Which of the following genotypes will produce β-galactosidase and β-galactoside permease if lactose is present:
(1) I+O+Z+Y+,
(2) I−OcZ+Y+,
(3) IsOcZ+Y+,
(4) IsO+Z+Y+, and
(5) I-O+Z+Y+?
(b) Which of the above genotypes will produce β-galactosidase and β-galactoside permease if lactose is absent? Why?
