QUESTION 4:
In the following partial diploid, predict if beta-galactosidase will be expressed
in absence or presence of lactose. Select all that apply
Glucose is absent from the medium and where
| = lacl (lac repressor), P = promoter, O = operator, and Z = lacZ (beta-galactosidase
gene).
Repressor can act bind to operator in both genes, but the operator controls only genes
adjacent to it.
OC is a operator mutation, which does not allow repressor to bind.
(+) indicates wild type or normal protein, and (-) indicates nonfunctional or mutated protein
