1. What happens to E. coli when lactose is not present? (Points : 1) The enzymes needed to break down lactose are continually produced. The genes that produce the enzymes needed to break down lactose are not expressed. E. coli is not able to survive without lactose. The genes required to produce the enzymes that break down lactose are destroyed.

2. When is gene expression blocked in the lac operon system? (Points : 1) The repressor protein blocks the genes from making mRNA. Lactose binds to the repressor and changes its shape. RNA polymerase begins transcribing the genes. The repressor protein destroys the genes required to produce enzymes.
