Essay

Imagine the following scenario: You take the regulatory region of the trp operon (including the promoter, operator, and 5' UTR) and attach it upstream of the structural genes of the lac operon.

Indicate the level of ß-galactosidase activity in each of the following cases and explain why you expect that level of activity:
a. No tryptophan, no lactose
