As the product of 'l' gene binds with the operator region and blocks the transcription and translation of z, y and a gene, its product is prevented from binding to the operator by attaching it with the inducer. As the inducer is no more capable of binding with the represser, thus, in all the cases, operator always gets attached with the represser thereby preventing the transcription and transmission of z, y and a, Even in the presence of lactose, transcription and translation of z, y and a would not occur.
