Solution

The activation of the lac operon requires a signaling molecule regulated by glucose. Specifically, it is an increase in cAMP regulated by a decrease of glucose. This is because the lac operon is a set of genes that are responsible for the metabolism of lactose in bacteria. When glucose levels are low, cAMP levels increase, which then activates the lac operon to break down lactose for energy.

In E. coli, transcription of the lac operon would be increased by:Group of answer choicesA missense mutation that disrupts the activity of the catabolite activator protein (CAP).A mutation in the lacI repressor gene that increases the affinity of the repressor for allolactose.A mutation in the lacI repressor gene that increases the affinity of the repressor for the lac operator.The presence of glucose in the growth medium.

The lac operon system, first described by Jacob and Monod, regulates lactose metabolism in . The is composed of a gene encoding a protein that normally keeps this operon in the position. Within the , the repressor binds to the , blocking transcription of structural genes needed for lactose metabolism. When is added to a cell's environment, it binds the repressor freeing the operator segment of the DNA. is now able to bind to the promoter, transcribing all three structural genes needed for lactose catabolism. When lactose again becomes depleted in the cell, the repressor binds to the operator blocking additional synthesis of enzymes from the .
