(a)

Summary Introduction

To determine: Whether the Z gene product will be expressed in the presence of lactose and in the absence of lactose for the given strain: I+P+O+Z+.

Introduction: The lac operon or the lactose operon is a cluster of common-promoter genes that is found in E. coli and helps in transporting and digesting lactose. By analyzing the lac operon of various mutants of E. coli through genetic analysis, a lot of information has been gained. The lac operon of E. coli is an inducible operon.

Summary Introduction

To determine: Whether the Z gene product will be expressed in the presence of lactose and in the absence of lactose for the given strain: I+P+OcZ+.

Introduction: The lac operon or the lactose operon is a cluster of common-promoter genes that is found in E. coli and helps in transporting and digesting lactose. By analyzing the lac operon of various mutants of E. coli through genetic analysis, a lot of information has been gained. The lac operon of E. coli is an inducible operon.

(d)

Summary Introduction

To determine: Whether the Z gene product will be expressed in the presence of lactose and in the absence of lactose for the given strain: I-P+O+Z+.

Introduction: The lac operon or the lactose operon is a cluster of common-promoter genes that is found in E. coli and helps in transporting and digesting lactose.
