Drag and drop the (+) and (-) symbols depending on if active ?-galactosidase is produced (+) or if if active ?-galactosidase is not produced (-) in the presence of lactose: lacI+ lacP+ lacOc lacZ– lacY+ blank lacI+ lacP+ lacO+ lacZ+ lacY+ blank lacIs lacP+ lacOc lacZ+ lacY+ blank lacI– lacP+ lacO+ lacZ+ lacY+ / lacI+ blank lacIs lacP+ lacO+ lacZ+ lacY+ / lacI+ blank
lacI+ lacP+ lacOc lacZ– lacY+ - No galactosidase production
LacZ gene is mutated so no production
lacI+ lacP+ lacO+ lacZ+ lacY+ - No galactosidase production
LacI will inhibit mRNA synthesis
lacIs lacP+ lacOc lacZ+ lacY+ - LacIs will not be able to bind to operator as operator site is mutated.
Galactosidase production
lacI– lacP+ lacO+ lacZ+ lacY+ / lacI+ -LacI from the other plamsid iwll binds to the operator so No galactosidase production
lacIs lacP+ lacO+ lacZ+ lacY+ / lacI+ - No galactosidase production
