Lac Operon
The following are the genotypes of partial diploid bacteria, mutant in one or more genes associated with the LAC OPERON. For each bacterium, choose from the choices provided whether beta-galactosidase and whether permease will be produced under conditions when lactose is present and when lactose is absent in accordance to the table below.

The following are the genotypes of partial diploid bacteria, mutant in one or more genes associated with the LAC OPERON. For each bacterium, indicate in the spaces provided whether beta-galactosidase and whether permease will be produced under conditions when lactose is present and when lactose is absent. Use "yes" to indicate that the enzyme is produced (in functional form); use "no" to indicate that the enzyme either is not produced or is not functional.
For the following table, predict the expression parent on the respective enzymes. Use the following symbols: " - " no protein product, " + " some protein product, " +++ " a lot of proteins produced.
