- Give all possible genotypes of a lac operon that produces, or fails to produce, B-galactosidase and permease under the following conditions. Do not give partial-diploid genotypes. Lactose present B-Galactosidase Lactose absent B-Galactosidase Permease Permease a. b. C. d. e. f. g. + I + II + + + | +Iarrow_forwardA number of mutations affect the expression of the lac operon in E. coli. Consider each genotype below and complete the table using “+” to indicate that the gene is expressed, and “−” to indicate that gene is not expressed.arrow_forwardFor the given genotypes (associated with the lac operon in E. coli), indicate with a "+" or "-" whether functional B - galactosidase would be expected to be produced in the indicated conditions, assuming low glucose levels. B - galactosidase production Genotype No lactose With lactose a) I- O+ Z+ / F' I+ O+ Z+ b) IS O+ Z+/ F' I+ O+ Z+arrow_forward
- Nonearrow_forwardPlease complete the table representing the regulation of the lactose operon. Please highlight any data that provides evidence of trans regulation.arrow_forwardStrain ROFL4 has a premature stop mutation in the lacZ gene, resulting in a nonfunctional b-galactosidase. Otherwise all other parts of the operon are functional. Circle the least number of components for an F' plasmid that will restore normal regulation and function of the lac operon in the resulting partial diploid. (may need more than one) (a) lacI+ (b) lacO+ (c) lacP+ (d) lacZ+ (e) None, cannot be restored.arrow_forward
- Strain P77 has a mutation in the lacO that prevents it from being bound by the lacI protein. Otherwise all other parts of the operon are functional. 1. Can strain P77 metabolize lactose if it is present? 2. If lactose is absent, will strain P77 transcribe its lac operon? 3. If lactose is present, will strain P77 transcribe its lac operon?arrow_forwardThe map of the lac operon is shown below. Consider the following examples that include both haploids and partial diploids and explain in each scenario whether the repressor can bind and regulate expression and whether or not the lac operon is expressed. For partial diploids the plasmid is indicated by the F’.

- For the Escherichia coli lactose operon genotypes listed, + indicates a functional component, - indicates a nonfunctional component, superscript C indicates a constitutively active component, and superscript S indicates a component that is unresponsive to an inducer. Genotypes written on two lines and separated by a slash represent the bacterial chromosome and an additional circular DNA strand, called a plasmid. For each E. coli strain shown on the table, use a plus sign (+) to indicate the synthesis of ẞ-galactosidase (ẞ-gal) and permease and a minus sign (—) to indicate no synthesis of these proteins. No glucose is present. + Answer Bankarrow_forwardThe streptolysin S toxin made by S. pyogenes is encoded by a 9-gene operon, sagABCDEFGHI. Thinking about what a 3-line diagram would look like for this operon, answer the following questions. Write numeric answers only. For example, if your answer is 6 promoters, write only 6. 1) How many promoters control the expression of these genes? 2) How many locations does RNA Polymerase bind to get full expression of these genes? 3) How many ribosome binding sites are needed for full protein expression? 4) How many start codons will be needed for full protein expression? 5) How many mRNA strands will be produced with full operon expression? 6) How many proteins will be produced with full protein expression? 1arrow_forwardDetermine the outcome for the lac operon genotype shown below: I*p*o°z*y/I*p*o*z*x* Assume lactose is absent. Select one: O Functional beta-galactosidase and functional permease are produced. O Only functional beta-galactosidase is produced. Functional permease is NOT produced. O Only functional permease is produced. Functional beta-galactosidase is NOT produced. O Functional beta-galactosidase is NOT produced. Functional permease is NOT produced.arrow_forward
