In a mero-diploid you have one I- and one I+ Repressor gene in the two lac operons. I+ is wild type while I- is a mutant which produces a repressor that doesn’t bind. What would be the functionality of the diploid?(a) Function normally(b) Will be non-functional(c) May or may not function(d) Will have impaired functioningThis question was posed to me in a national level competition.I would like to ask this question from Operons : Lac and Ara in section Gene Expression : Transcription Prokaryotes of Cytogenetics

Answer»

The correct ANSWER is (a) Function normally

Easiest explanation: The set of GENE product PRODUCED from the wild type I+ loci will be sufficient to induce repression in both the OPERONS. THUS, the system will not be impaired or non-functional.
