**Question:**

For a lac operon of genotype I^sP^+O^+Z^+, functional beta-galactosidase is ... (pick the best answer)

**Options:**

- ○ a. Never produced

- ○ b. Constitutively produced

- ○ c. Under inducible control

**Explanation:**

This is a multiple-choice question regarding the expression of beta-galactosidase in a specific lac operon genotype. Understanding gene regulation in the lac operon requires knowledge of the operon's components and how mutations affect its function.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Hi, Thanks For Your Question. 

Answer : Correct Option Is A (Never produced). 

I Gene Encodes For Repressor Which Binds To Operator And Inhibits The Transcription Of The Lac Operon. In This Case, I Gene Is Mutated, So Repressor Will Not Be Formed And The Operon Will Express Itself All The Time, Irrespective Of The Presence Or Absence Of Lactose In The Medium. This Is Called As Constitutive Expression.
