Answer #1

The answer would be A) NO

As this enzyme is part of lac operon which is only acticated in the presence of lactose as an energy source for the cell whenever glucose is not present. So, if glucose is present, the repressor would bind to the operator disabling the transcription og the downstream genes in the lac operon which include the gene for b galactosidase.

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...
