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–.

  1. Lac1- best fits the properties of LacOc mutations (cis-acting dominant) and Lac2- best fits the genetic characteristics of LacI-d mutations (trans-acting dominant).
  2. Lac1- best fits the properties of LacI-d mutations (cis-acting dominant) and Lac2- best fits the genetic characteristics of LacOc mutations (trans-acting dominant).
  3. Lac1- best fits the properties of LacOc mutations (trans-acting dominant) and Lac2- best fits the genetic characteristics of LacI-d mutations (cis-acting dominant).
  4. Lac1- best fits the properties of LacI-d mutations (cis-acting dominant) and Lac2- best fits the genetic characteristics of LacOc mutations (trans-acting dominant).

Some given facts regarding effector molecules such as;

a) HC-toxin-induced plasma membrane hyperpolarization in guard cells causes massive K+ uptake and permanent stomatal opening

b) Xanthomonas, are proteins that target the plant cell nucleus and causes change in gene expression, called transcription activator-like (TAL) effectors bind to the host plant DNA and activate the expression of genes

c) Fusicoccin, a cyclic peptide, acts on the enzyme histone deacetylase in the nucleus, and may have a compromising effect on the expression of genes involved in defense

d) Gibberellins accelerate growth, resulting in bigger plants when compared with uninfested plants. The gibberellins produced by the fungi are identical to those produced endogenously by the plant
