you have a cell that carries mutations in the lac operon repressor gene that render it unable to bind the operator, but otherwise has a fully funcitonal lac operon. you introduce a plasmid carrying a funcitonal lac repressor gene into these mutant cells. Which best describes the likely outcome, in the absence of lactose
Gene Interactions
When the expression of a single trait is influenced by two or more different non-allelic genes, it is termed as genetic interaction. According to Mendel's law of inheritance, each gene functions in its own way and does not depend on the function of another gene, i.e., a single gene controls each of seven characteristics considered, but the complex contribution of many different genes determine many traits of an organism.
Gene Expression
Gene expression is a process by which the instructions present in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) are converted into useful molecules such as proteins, and functional messenger ribonucleic (mRNA) molecules in the case of non-protein-coding genes.
