Answer #1

Ans.

High allolactose levels

Explanation :

lac operon contains mainly two types of genes that are structural gene and regulatory gene.

Structural genes are lac Z, lac Y and lac A.

Regulatory genes are operator (lac O), promoter (lac P) and regulator (lac I).

Allolactose is an inducer and lac operon is turned on at the presence of high levels of allolactose. Allolactose as an inducer induces the expression of lac genes.

Regulator i.e lac I can synthesize repressor. In high concentration of allolactose, repressor binds with it (allolactose). As a result the repressor can not bind to the operator region. So, RNA polymerase binds to the operator and starts synthesizing mRNA.

Hence, the answer is High allolactose levels.

Predict what will happen to the expression of β-galactosidase (lacZ gene) in a mutant strain lacking lacY-gene. Remember cells are not able to produce LacY-protein and can not transport lactose: lacZ gene will be expressed only when both lactose and glucose are present. lacZ gene will not be expressed. lacZ gene will be expressed only in the presence of lactose; maximum expression will be observed in the absence of glucose. lacZ gene will not be repressed; maximum expression will be...

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...
