Which situation is least likely to occur in a non-mutant bacterial cell?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

β-galactoside permease is essential for the uptake of lactose (a type of β-galactoside) into the bacterial cell. If β-galactoside is present at a high concentration outside the cell, the cell would naturally produce β-galactoside permease to import the lactose for metabolism, especially in the absence of glucose. Therefore, the absence of β-galactoside permease under these conditions is least likely to occur.
