Chapter 16, Problem 1

In this chapter, we focused on the regulation of gene expression in bacteria. Along the way, we found many opportunities to consider the methods and reasoning by which much of this information was acquired. From the explanations given in the chapter, what answers would you propose to the following fundamental questions? What led researchers to conclude that a repressor molecule regulates the lac operon?

Video transcript

Hello, everyone here We have the question saying the term blank refers to the repressors. Control over a Black op peron operations cannot produce the RNA polymerase enzyme under the control of a repressor. So this is called negative regulation. So our answer here is B. Thank you for watching. Bye.
