Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
When the strong transcription occur?
A
Glucose present, lactose absent
B
Glucose present, lactose present
C
Glucose absent, lactose absent
D
Glucose absent, lactose present
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Glucose absent, lac tose present: Strong transcription of the lac operon occurs. The lac repressor is released from the operator because the inducer (allolactose ) is present. cAMP levels are high because glucose is absent, so CAP is active and bound to the DNA.

Detailed explanation-2: -In the absence of lactose, There is no transcription occured by RNA polymerase because The lac repressor binds tightly to the operator only in absence of lactose.
