An e.coli cell without a functional laci gene is expected to always produce B-galactosidase. i found the answer to this question on a set of quizlet flash cards. i have provided the link below in case you would want to look at the flash cards for reference.

Answer:
B. there were more double crossovers in the progeny than would be expected based on probability
Explanation:
Crossing over or recombination can be defined as the exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes during meiosis. Moreover, the coefficient of coincidence is the number of double recombinants found in the progeny. The coefficient of coincidence can be estimated by the following equation:
Coefficient of coincidence (COC) = ADRF / EDRF
where ADRF = Actual Double Recombinant Frequency
and EDRF = Expected Double Recombinant Frequency
In the case above described, ADFR is higher than EDRF, and therefore COC will be higher than 1.
Its definetly not C or D and B sounds ridiculous so its A.
