Q2. PLEASE EXPLAIN THE ANSWER

You are given an E. coli merodiploid with an F plasmid with thisgenotype: lacP- lacO+ lacZ+ lacY+ and a chromosome with a secondcopy of the lac operon with this genotype: lacP+ lacO+ lacZ- lacY-.Depending on the whether lacP- is replaced with lacP+ on the Fplasmid by the Holliday or DSBR model, what happens to the copy oflacP on the chromosome?
