You have isolated two mutations in the Lac operon that cause constitutive expression of Lac genes. You designate these mutants Lac1– and Lac2–. Making use of an F' that carries the Lac operon with the LacY gene mutated, you construct strains that you test for both ß-galactosidase activity and Lac permease activity with results shown below.

     

Classify each mutation as dominant or recessive and as cis- or trans-acting, giving the experimental result that allows you to arrive at each conclusion. Finally, deduce what type of Lac mutation best fits the properties of Lac 1– and of Lac 2–.
