What would occur if the repressor of an inducible operon were mutated so it could not bind the operator? a. irreversible binding of the repressor to the promoter b. reduced transcription of the operon's genes c. buildup of a substrate for the pathway controlled by the operon d. continuous transcription of the operon's genes

Step 1
Step 1: If the repressor of an inducible operon is mutated so it cannot bind the operator, it means that the repressor will not be able to block transcription of the operon's genes. Show more…

Which of the following results would occur if the repressor of an inducible operon were mutated so that it could not bind the inducer? A. the overproduction of cAMP receptor protein (CRP) B. the continuous transcription of the operon's genes C. the irreversible binding of the repressor to the promoter D. No transcription of the operon's genes

What would be the outcome of a mutation that prevented DNA binding proteins from being produced? a. decreased transcription because transcription factors would not bind to transcription binding sites b. decreased transcription because enhancers would not be able to bind to transcription factors c. increased transcription because repressors would not be able to bind to promoter regions d. increased transcription because RNA polymerase would be able to increase binding to promoter regions
