The lac operon consists of several genes that encode enzymes required for metabolizing lactose. The expression of the lac operon is regulated by the presence of lactose and glucose. 1) describe the regulation operon when the level of glucose is high and the level of lactose is low

Which of the following statements about regulation of the lac operon is true? Select all that apply. Group of answer choices When glucose is present but lactose is absent, gene expression is activated at the lac operon. The presence of glucose in the growth medium does not affect the level of gene expression activated by the presence of lactose. The lac repressor can dissociate from the operator in the presence of glucose. Gene expression is high when the lac repressor...

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.)

A mutation prevents expression of the CAP protein. Will the Lac operon be expressed when lactose levels are high and glucose levels are low? Explain your reasoning.

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,...

1. The lac operon responds to lactose and glucose. If wild-type E. coli cells are grown in media that contains both lactose and glucose, they will consume the glucose first because: (select all that apply) A.) the lac repressor remains bound to lacO, preventing the lac operon from being expressed at maximal levels B.) the permease (lacY) is not expressed in the presence of glucose, preventing lactose from entering the cell and being converted to allolactose, the inducer C.) the...

1. For the lac operon, explain briefly what would happen and why regarding expression of the operon in each of the following scenarios. Be sure to include both positive and negative regulation in your explanation. a.) lactose is present, glucose is absent b.) lactose is absent, glucose is present c.) both lactose and glucose are present d.) lactose is present, glucose is absent, but there is a mutation to the sequence in the CAP site 2.) Consider the following RNA...

1.)The lac operon is inducible by the presence of lactose. Loss-of-function mutations in the lacI gene, which encodes the lac repressor (pick all that apply): A.)slow down the isomerization of lactose into allolactose B.)decrease the amount of permease activity in the cell in the presence of lactose. C.)prevent loss-of-function lacZ mutations from making the lac operon uninducible D.)are recessive to wild type 2.)Mutations that eliminate the lacO operator site (pick all that apply): A.)slow down the isomerization of lactose into...
