Question
**A partial diploid of the ABC operon is generated by combining the previous genotypes, resulting in the following genotype:**

testR- testP+ testO+ test1+ test2- test3+ / testR+ testP+ testO- test1- test2+ test3+

**In this partial diploid, testR+ is [blank] -acting and testO- is [blank] -acting.**

*Note:* The two blanks are meant to be filled with information during an educational activity.
Transcribed Image Text:**A partial diploid of the ABC operon is generated by combining the previous genotypes, resulting in the following genotype:** testR- testP+ testO+ test1+ test2- test3+ / testR+ testP+ testO- test1- test2+ test3+ **In this partial diploid, testR+ is [blank] -acting and testO- is [blank] -acting.** *Note:* The two blanks are meant to be filled with information during an educational activity.
This figure represents the ABC operon, which is a negative inducible operon, and its associated regulatory gene. The structural genes produced by the operon convert molecule A into molecule D. When molecule A is present in the environment, it will bind to the regulatory protein, and operon expression will be induced.

**Diagram Explanation:**

1. **Regulatory Gene (testR):** 
   - Located at the start of the sequence.
   - Produces a regulatory protein.

2. **Promoter and Operator:**
   - The promoter is labeled as testP, preceding the operator.
   - The operator site controls the ability of RNA polymerase to transcribe the operon.

3. **Structural Genes:**
   - Comprised of test0, test1, test2, and test3.
   - Responsible for producing structural proteins.

4. **Gene Functions:**
   - The test0 gene is directly downstream of the operator.
   - test1, test2, and test3 follow test0 in sequence and contribute to the synthesis of structural proteins.

When molecule A binds to the regulatory protein, it triggers the activation of the operon, allowing the structural genes to be transcribed and translated into proteins.
