Question

Gene regulation/control typically involves genes that many not be fully expressed into a protein, but rather a product that is allowed other to bind and prevent the expression of other genes. This is seen in the region called________.
Regulator, promoter, repressor, or structural? Gene regulation/control typically involves genes that many not be fully expressed into a protein, but rather a product that is allowed other to bind and prevent the expression of other genes. This is seen in the region called________.
Regulator, promoter, repressor, or structural?
Regulator, promoter, repressor, or structural?

Explanation / Answer

Gene regulatory proteins,the products of regulatory genes acts as an activator or repressor.

Binding of a repressor prevents the gene expression,it is referred to as negative regulation.

Repressor binds to the lac opreator.consequently all of the structural genes of the lac operon are repressed and there is no beta galactosidase,beta galactoside permease or transacetylase in the cell.
