Groups of alleles associated with the lactose operon are as follows (in order of dominance for each

Question:

Groups of alleles associated with the lactose operon are as follows (in order of dominance for each allelic series): repressor, Is (superrepressor), I+ (inducible), and I- (constitutive); operator, Oc (constitutive, cis- dominant) and O+ (inducible, cis-dominant); structural, Z+ and Y+

(a) Which of the following genotypes will produce β-galactosidase and β-galactoside permease if lactose is present: 

(1) I+O+Z+Y+

(2) I−OcZ+Y+

(3) IsOcZ+Y+

(4) IsO+Z+Y+, and 

(5) I-O+Z+Y+

(b) Which of the above genotypes will produce β-galactosidase and β-galactoside permease if lactose is absent? Why?
