A. Only 1, the lac Z- allele on the bacterial chromosome.
B. Only 1, the lac Z+ allele on the bacterial chromosome.
C. Two, the lac Z- allele on the bacterial chromosome and the lac Z+ allele on the bacterial chromosome.
D. Two, the lac Z- allele on the bacterial chromosome and the lac Z+ allele on the F' episome.
E. Only 1, the lac Z+ allele on the F' episome.
