. A wild-type Hfr is mated to an F- strain that is io+ zy- . Inthe absence of inducer and glucose what should happen toβ-galactosidase levels immediately after the mating (increase,decrease, or stay the same)? a. Explain your answer. b. Describewhat would happen if the F- recipients were i+ oc zy- . c. Indiploids, would you expect cap+ to be dominant or recessive to cap-? Refer to lac expression and describe the phenotype of cap+ , cap-, and cap+ /cap- bacteria. d. What would be the effect on lacoperon expression of a mutation in cap that caused it to bind toDNA in the absence of cyclic AMP?
