**Title:** Prediction of Gene Product Expression in the Presence of IPTG as a Lac Operon Inducer**Objective:** Understand the effect of IPTG, a synthetic inducer, on the lac operon regulation and predict the production of gene products (β-galactosidase and lactose permease) in various partial diploids.**Experiment Overview:** 1. **Description:** IPTG can be used in the laboratory as a synthetic inducer of the lac operon instead of lactose. Your task is to predict whether these gene products (β-galactosidase and lactose permease) will be produced (Yes (+) / No (-)) in the presence or absence of the inducer IPTG. 2. **Experimental Setup:** Various partial diploids are illustrated with the presence (+) or absence (-) of IPTG. The gene components (I, P, O, Z, Y) denote the operon’s segments with possible alterations or mutations (e.g., I^s, O^c).**Structure and Gene Representation:**- **I:** Repressor gene- **P:** Promoter- **O:** Operator- **Z:** β-galactosidase- **Y:** Permease**Instructions:**Below are the different combinations of partial diploids with blank columns to be completed with either a Yes (+) or No (-) for the production of β-galactosidase and permease both in the presence (+IPTG) and absence (-IPTG) of the inducer.---**Partial Diploids and Predictions:**- **(A)** I+P-O+Z-Y+ / I-P+O^cZ+Y- | Condition | β-galactosidase | Permease | β-galactosidase | Permease | |------------------|-----------------|---------------|-----------------|---------------| | **+IPTG** | | | | | | **-IPTG** | | | | |- **(B)** I^sP+O^cZ+Y- / I+P+O+Z-Y+ | Condition | β-galactosidase | Permease | β-galactosidase | Permease | |
