Transcribed Image Text:### Genetic Activity of the lac Operon under Various Cellular Conditions
**Instructions:**
Predict the level of genetic activity of the *lac operon* as well as the status of the lac repressor and the CAP protein under the following cellular conditions (indicated by the presence (+) or absence (-) of lactose and glucose).
### Cellular Conditions Table
| | Lactose | Glucose |
|---|---------|---------|
| a) | – | – |
| b) | + | – |
| c) | – | + |
| d) | + | + |
### Prediction Questions
For each set of conditions, answer the following questions:
#### a)
- Operon (on or off or basal?)
- Lac repressor (bound to operator?)
- CAP protein (bound to CAP site?)
#### b)
- Operon (on or off or basal?)
- Lac repressor (bound to operator?)
- CAP protein (bound to CAP site?)
#### c)
- Operon (on or off or basal?)
- Lac repressor (bound to operator?)
- CAP protein (bound to CAP site?)
#### d)
- Operon (on or off or basal?)
- Lac repressor (bound to operator?)
- CAP protein (bound to CAP site?)
