Consider E. coli cells, each having one of the following mutations:
a. a mutant lac operator (the O c locus) that cannot bind repressor
b. a mutant lac repressor (the I gene product) that cannot bind to the lac operator
c. a mutant lac repressor (the I s gene product) that cannot bind to allolactose
d. a mutant lac promoter region that cannot bind CAP plus cAMP
What effect would each mutation have on the function of the lac operon (assuming no glucose is present)
