For the following lac operon haploid genotypes identify the mode of transcription of operon genes and indicate determine whether the strain is lac + or lac- .

Part A:
I+P+O+ Z+Y+
   a) is lac- and the genes are inducibly transcribed.
   b) is lac + and the genes are not transcribed.
   c) is lac- and the genes are not transcribed.
   d) is lac + and the genes are constitutively transcribed.
   e) is lac+ and the genes are inducibly transcribed.
   f) is lac- and the genes are constitutively transcribed.


Part B:
I+P+OC Z−Y+
   a) is lac- and the genes are inducibly transcribed.
   b) is lac - and the genes are not transcribed.
   c)is lac + and the genes are not transcribed.
   d) is lac + and the genes are inducibly transcribed.
   e) is lac + and the genes are constitutively transcribed.
   f) is lac- and the genes are constitutively transcribed.

Part C:
I+P+O+ Z+Y−
   a) is lac + and the genes are constitutively transcribed.
   b) is lac- and the genes are not constitutively transcribed.
   c) is lac- and the genes are inducibly transcribed.
   d) is lac + and the genes are not transcribed.
   e) is lac- and the genes are not transcribed.
   f) is lac + and the genes are inducibly transcribed.


Part D:
I−P+OC Z+Y+
   a) is lac- and the genes are constitutively transcribed.
   b) is lac- and the genes are inducibly transcribed.
   c) is lac + and the genes are inducibly transcribed.
   d) is lac+ and the genes are constitutively transcribed.
   e) is lac- and the genes are not transcribed.
   f) is lac + and the genes are not transcribed.

Part E:
I+P−O+ Z−Y+
   a) is lac + and the genes are inducibly transcribed.
   b) is lac + and the genes are not transcribed.
   c) is lac- and the genes are constitutively transcribed.
   d) is lac- and the genes are inducibly transcribed.
   e) is lac + and the genes are constitutively transcribed.
   f) is lac- and the genes are not transcribed.

Part F:
I+P+OC Z+Y−
   a) is lac- and the genes are inducibly transcribed.
   b) is lac + and the genes are constitutively transcribed.
   c) is lac + and the genes are inducibly transcribed.
   d) is lac- and the genes are not transcribed.
   e) is lac + and the genes are not transcribed.
   f) is lac- and the genes are constitutively transcribed.

Part G:
I+P+OC Z+Y+
   a) is lac- and the genes are constitutively transcribed.
   b) is lac + and the genes are not transcribed.
   c) is lac- and the genes are not transcribed.
   d) is lac + and the genes are constitutively transcribed.
   e) is lac- and the genes are inducibly transcribed.
   f) is lac + and the genes are inducibly transcribed.


I would greatly appreciate an explanation of how to figure out these answers, in addition to the answers themselves, of course. Thank you!

Thanks so much, duddy! I have no way of verifying the answers tonight, but I'll post tomorrow confirming whether or not these are correct.

Wait, your answer choices are not matching up correctly with the answers I have provided for each part.

I+P+O+Z+Y−
is lac- and the genes are not transcribed.

I+P+OCZ−Y+
is lac- and the genes are constitutively transcribed

I+P−O+Z+Y+
is lac- and the genes are not transcribed.

I+P−O+Z−Y+
is lac- and the genes are not transcribed.

I+P+OCZ+Y+
is lac+ and the genes are constitutively transcribed

Not sure if anyone will need, but I'll toss it here in cases of future needs
