Expert Solution

Lac operon is an inducible operon which means that the cistron undergoes transcription only when lactose is prsent in the medium. This is because the lac operon encodes for lactose-fermentation enzymes, hence presence of lactose in the cell/medium will prompt the cells to induce the operon. The lac operon contains a cistron carrying three genes. The lac Z encodes for beta galactosidase, lac Y encodes for permease and lac A encodes for transacetylase. All of these three genes need to be present and expressed for a successful lac operon transcription.

Thus, based upon these information, the answers can be found as below:

Case 1: No expression (the genotype is both negative for lacZ and Y, hence no transcription will take place)

Case 2: No expression (the expression of lac operon is absent in the absence of lactose in the medium)

Case 3: No expression (Since the lac Y gene is altogether absent from the cistron, no expression of cistron takes place)

. β-Galactosidase (lacZ) has bifunctional activity. It hydrolyzes lactose to galactose and glucose and catalyzes the intramolecular isomerization of lactose to allolactose. β-Galactosidase promotes the isomerization by means of an acceptor site that binds glucose after its cleavage from lactose and thus delays its exit from the site. Allolactose, not lactose, is the natural inducer for the lac operon. a. Would you expect β-galactosidase to be induced in a zy+ mutant upon the addition of lactose? Upon the addition of...
