BIOXII06: MOLECULAR BASIS OF INHERITANCE

342976 Which of the following statements is correct about the role of regulatory proteins in transcription in prokaryotes?

1 They only increase expression
2 They only decrease expression
3 They interact with RNA polymerase but do not affect the expression
4 They can act both as activators and as repressors
BIOXII06: MOLECULAR BASIS OF INHERITANCE

342977 Why glucose cannot act as an inducer for lac operon?

1 Because they cannot bind with the repressor
2 Because they cannot bind with the operator
3 Because they cannot bind with the promoter
4 Because they cannot bind with the lac operon
