Answer:
The lactose present prevents the production of lactase
Explanation:
This question is describing a set of genes in bacteria called LAC OPERON. Lac operon controls the production of lactase, which is the enzyme that digests lactose. However, this gene can be regulated at the transcription level i.e caused to be transcribed or not depending on certain factors.
According to the question, lac operon, which regulates the production of enzymes will be transcribed and subsequently translated i.e. turned on when there is a substrate (lactose) that the produced enzyme will work on. However, when there is no need of the lactase enzyme or there is absence of lactose (substrate), the lac operon gene is turned off.
Note that, the statement that "The presence of lactose prevents the production of lactase" is not correct.

The answer is dominant.
A monohybrid cross involves organisms that are heterozygous for only one character. In autosomal dominant traits, the phenotype is present if both copies of the dominant allele (A) are present (homozygous individuals AA) or only one copy of the dominant allele is present (heterozygous individuals Aa). <u>Thus, t</u><span><u>he characteristic that results from a monohybrid cross is the dominant trait.</u></span>
