The inductive female i+ does not manufacture enzyme in the absence of inducer, despite the presence of z+, because a re- pressor is present (repressor is represented by crosses). The corresponding zygote (zygote I) does not produce enzyme in the absence of an inducer, despite the presence of the constitutive gene i~, because the cytoplasm of the inductive female contains a repressor. The gene i+ is dominant. II. The inductive male does not manufacture enzyme in the absence of an inducer because a repressor is present. The constitutive female does not manu- facture the enzyme because it is z~. The corresponding zygote (zygote II) will produce enzyme for a limited time (see next part of figure), because the z+ gene coming from the male has entered into a constitutive cytoplasm (devoid of repressor). The two zygotes (I and II) have the same genetic constitution, but zygote I has an inductive cytoplasm (the female is i+), whereas zygote II has a consti- tutive one (the female is i~). [47].
