To complete the table,below, consider the following elements of the system:
[lacI promoter, lacI protein coding region, lacZ/Y promoter, lacZ protein coding for B-Galactotosidase, lacY protein coding for Permease, and operator]
Complete the table by using the pull down menu to select for “+” or “-“ symbols to show if β-Galactotosidase or Permease protein are produced in bacteria with the follow genotypes.

lac repressor inhibits the expression of the lac operon if the inducer is absent, lactose is an inducer of the lac operon when the lactose is present lac repressor is inhibited by lactose, so lac operon can be expressed.
lacPI+ - promoter of lac I gene.
lacI+ - functional lac I gene that codes for lac repressor.
lacPzya+ - promoter of lac operon.
lacO+ -lac operator.
lacZ+- codes for beta-galactosidase
lacY+ - codes for permease.
