Which of the following statements about the Lac operon is correct? Group of answer choices The Lac promoter is weak because its sequence deviates significantly from the consensus sequence. The Lac promoter is weak because it requires cAMP for transcription. The Lac promoter is strong because its sequence does not deviate greatly from the consensus sequence. The Lac promoter is strong so it requires a repressor for negative control.

1.    The lac operon in E. coli comprises three structural genes, lac Z, lacY, and lacA. It is regulated by both positive and negative mechanisms, involving binding of both a repressor protein and the catabolite activator protein (CAP). Transcription of the operon gives a polycistronic mRNA encoding the three enzymes. Under the following nutritional conditions, indicate whether or not the repressor and the CAP are bound by drawing them in on the appropriate regions of the operon. Indicate, as well,...

The lac operon in E. coli regulates the co-expression of three genes needed for the degradation of lactose (but absence of glucose) in the growth medium. These genes are not expressed when the bacteria has no lactose to feed on. How does the cell prevent expressing the lac operon in the absence of lactose? How does the presence of lactose activate the transcription of these three genes? (You do not need to explain the glucose level regulation.)

Q. 1 PLEASE EXPLAIN If the lac permease is required to bring inducer into the cell, and inducer is required to activate transcription of the lac operon, then how do E. coli ever turn on the lac operon even when lactose is around?
