Q. What effect would you expect if gene expression of the lac operon were completely repressed ?
Molecular Basis of Inheritance
A
The cell would be more efficient without 'wasting' the energy required for the low level of Lac Z, LacY, and Lac A gene expression.
6%
B
Allolactose would accumulate within the cell and become toxic.
10%
C
Lactose would not be converted into the inducer and the operon could not be induced.
16%
D
All of the above
68%
Solution:
A low level of Lac Z expression is required for conversion of lactose to the inducer, allolactose.
